can some one explain 'turbo specs' please?
I know a little about this, but you know what they say about a little knowledge......
whats the difference between a .48, .55, .60 exhaust housing? is it smaller number = less lag but less top end power?
size of the compressor wheel effects what?
Trim? whats the differencebetween 52 or 56 trim in the turbos performance?
I assume the compressor maps require the flow rate of a head and the required pressure and you work off of an area of the map.
If anyone can explain some of this SIMPLY I would be thankfull.

so far then-
a .48 exhaust housing will give less lag and also less top end power due to restriction than a .55 or .63
Trim is the size of the compressor but is that the wheel or housing inlet? will a large trim and a small exhaust housing fight each other upon operation??
Is trim and the compressor wheel size related directly?

Thats the one about shifting a larger volume of air etc etc.
Really just a quick knock down of what the relivant numbers relate to in performance.
Really simple not techie talk please.
Lets not get this into teh Q&A section as I don't think many people go there.
