Default easiest way to calculate turbine inlet pressure???

i am trying to choose a proper A/R ratio for my turbo setup - How can I determine the turbine inlet pressure, is there a mathematical formula? What values am I measuring?

you would need a pressure probe in your turbo manifold.

Not really. What is your setup? I may have some data from something similar.

There is a section in the Maximum Boost book about the importance of turbine inlet pressure, and Corky says pretty much the same thing, you have to measure it. He states that high pressure equals faster spool and lower top end, while lower pressure is the opposite. I know that seems obvious to some folks here, but Corky's summation pretty much stated that at that point, you're back to trial and error to get it just right.

there are way too many variables that go into it to estimate.
