garret exhaust housing specs comapred to regular

ok guys, garret turbos measure the exhaust housing by a/r.

such as a .63a/r
and a 1.06 a/r

This is a guide that was sent to me to go by from one of my friends who runs turbo WRX's after we had a chat about A/R to CM conversions.This will help a little bit until he sends me the actual formula for the conversion for you which I emailed him about today.......Andy
