Chrissi, I thought that you were after an A/R ratio in excess of 1.0. Isn't the A/R
ratio in most sports cars far less then 1.0 for acceleration purposes? Aviation
turbos I believe are around 1.3. Please correct me if im wrong. but the smaller the
ratio, the faster it will accelerate to increase velocity not volume. ????
This is such a great forum.

As I got it from Greg: "The .81 A/R keeps you out of the surge range and in the middle of the 55
map. A 1.0 A/R pushes you closer to the edge of the map than I'd like to see."

Since I'm a dummy in this area I am just following informed opinions. The industry experts
themselves if such exist won't help due to liability issues.
