I have been learning about turbos for months now and every once in a while technical jargon such as a/r, inducer, 60-1 and all these specs arise. Can someone explain what do they mean so I can determine and understand what's best for me?
I know the basics, but the technical stuff goes way over my head.

 

heres a nice thread to start with.....

A/R is the size of the housing. It's just a measure of the cross sectional area of the outlet over the radius (Center of the turbo to the outlet).

If you open up a turbo, the wheel will have blades. The outter most diameter of the blades is the exducer and the innermost is the inducer.

Trim is just the ((Inducer/Exducer) ^2 ) * 100
