What does this number mean? Are there any good websites that do a good job explaining this?

real quick, A/R stands for Area/Radius. It is the measurement of housing, the number achieved by taking the area of a circle cut out of the pathway of the housing, divide by the length of the center of that area of circle you just take measurement of to the center of the turbo(the center of the blades/wheel). The larger the circle cutout(or the area of path of the housing) the farther the distance from the center of the wheel, therefore the A/R numbers stays the same at any given location of the housing
