stock turbo A/R?

Hello, searched but its hard to search a/r and such. I was just wondering (day dreaming about stuff) what the stock turbo's (s4) A/R is?

Thanks

I always thought it was something like 1.0. I'm pretty sure its stamped inside, for some reason I thought s4/s5 were different too. Keep in mind that all depends on the size of the turbine wheel. A 1.0 P trim is HUGE compared to a 1.0 stock turbine..

If it's the hotside a/r's you are inquiring about, the S4 is a 0.86 a/r and the S5 is 1.00 a/r (or close there abouts for the two).

it is my understanding that the s4 and s5 turbos are the same hotside except for the design of the twin scroll system (equal runner on s5 manifold/turbine vs unequal runner with flapper on s4). I've never physically compared them however.

The s4 has a smaller scroll on one side therefore it has a smaller a/r.
