Re: Your doing it wrong? (vestalfootball72)
some pictures look like he's measuring flange dimensions, diameter of piping, and a/r and trim specs, but in other pics it looks like he's just showing off his new digital vernier calipers. 
A/R (Area/Radius) describes a geometric characteristic of the compressor and turbine housings. technically, it is defined as the turbo inlet cross-sectional area divided by the radius from the turbo centerline to the centroid of that area. or the compressor's discharge cross-sectional area divided by the radius from the compressor centerline to the centroid of that area:

He's just showing you by measuring arbitrary things about the turbo that it is great for any "all motor" application you want to use it for. Gah!
