Are you talking about the hotside? The stock hitachi turbos on FCs have 1.0 A/R hotsides, and something like .48 coldsides. Of course, the efficiency of the wheels also comes into play, but this should give you something to compare to.

I've seen anywhere from .84 to 1.15 used. But that is only part of the equation for turbo sizing.

there's a half dozen relevant numbers to know about a turbo before anyone can say something is or isn't "right".
