Pressure Ratio is basically how much boost the turbo needs to make a certain amount of airflow

Jose, been meaning to tell you for a while but... That page on your site is unreadable with Mozilla or Firefox. The text covers the all of the maps somehow. Have your web-guy look at it with something besides IE.

You running Linux/Unix or Mac OS or something? If you are then I'll say nothing.

Probably just running Firefox. I see the same problem with FF on that page. Guess IE still has its uses unfortunately.
