WTF do you mean it doesnt mean anything. It means plenty. Go read. It may not be the most important spec on a turbo, but its damn useful.

The compressor A/R means diddly squat.

I'll make it easy:

I think my SR20T25 is an 80 but I don't remember. Spools 7 psi wastegate just before 3,000.

If you're sticking with bandaids, it'll still probably make a tick over 200whp at 15psi and spool the same.

CHRA (just google it dude)

Useful info.

I have a 1.8 but still handy to see that sort of thing, especially when I am also only aiming for 200whp.

That says nothing about it not meaning anything. Just not as important on compressor housings as it is on turbine housings.

A/R lets you easily compare the performance of two turbos with identical wheels but different housings.

In the case of the t25 80/64 or its smaller counterpart its pretty valid since the wheels are the same but the housings are different.
