I would go with he's an idiot. I like the OJ gloves in the last pic.

 

im glad that i know that from the center of the wheel to the tag is 2.3inches, that makes my decision a no brainer.lol

I hope thats not a real measurement after i get done making fun of him

 

Buhahaha! Looks like he's just showing off his new digital calipers!

 

lol

 

11th picture down using the calipers completely wrong is pretty good too haha

 

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:

welp, i tried to justify some of his pics but it looks like he doesn't know what the hell he's doing

 

lol what a dumbass company

 

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!

 

This guy knows how to sell,anyone w/ a fancy digital caliper must have the good stuff i need....LOOK here, THE NEVER BEFORE SEEN shaft to ID plate spec... This guys a IDIOT.

 

hahah hes just tryin make the piks look more interesting by puttin measuring tools anywhere he can

 

Not only does he measure the most bizzar details he doesn't know how to use the calipers



Very funny stuff thanks for the post

 

wowwwww

i should go take that caliper off his hands....my old school mechanical dial gauge is a pita to read...its all dirty and **** lol

 

Half of the things he measures are pointless I guess...

As for the topic:

So are you, its supposed to be "you're"

 

I was not an expert on turbo measurements before...but I am now!

 

i dont know if he's trying to sell a caliper or a turbo
like how he switches from metric 2 standard jus 4 the hell of it
or to show some of the features

 

Ahahaha thanks for the good laugh

 

Haha, not the best way to try and sell a turbo.

 

Thats pretty funny, and yet sad too
