Default Measuring "trim" of a turbo wheel

How hell can you do that? Ive no idea.

Ive measured wheel sizes (inducer and exducer) but need to know trim, as it could be one of a few, all with same exducer size...

Anyone know?

sorry steve saw post earlier and only just sat down after another nightmare day... right are you ready!!!

lets use a 4x4 cossie comp wheel (60 trim)
Inducer is 46.48mm
Exducer is 60.10mm

You square both Nos then divide inducer by exducer and times by 100

46.48 squared is 2160.3904
60.10 squared is 3612.01

2160.3904/3612.01 =0.598........

x 100 - 59.8 rounded - 60

think ive typed that up right lol
