Ok, I did a search and found nothing. This has been plaguing me for weeks now. I didnt want to ask cuz I know I will get someones flame . My question is this: is a/r talking abt the inlet/outlet on a turbo? what does it stand for? Does it need to be a specific size for you hp goals, engine type, etc.? I hear a lot of ppl with the .63 ar and I am just curious as to what it is. Thanks for your help guys!

note to self, 'stop yelling at noobs so much'

bump for you, there has got to be a link somewhere. Ah here you go:
<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">A/R is a ratio of the exhaust discharge area vs the distance from the center of turbine wheel to the center of the cross sectional area. Smaller A/R housing has faster spool up. Bigger A/R housing has less back pressure, more flow for the top end.</TD></TR></TABLE>(Now you made me feel guilty - even though it only took me 15 sec to find........must stop chastising.........arg.............)
