Turbo selection calculator
I know there are few of these little programs around but I thought I'd post the one I wrote using the formulas Garrett uses on their selection guides. Makes it easy to change around conditions and see the results instantly without having to recalculate everything. Let me know if you have any questions on using it. I think it's pretty self explanatory tho. Here's the link to it as well as a couple screenshots. Many of you guys are using used turbo's from other vehicles so you'd have to find the specs for the turbo for this to be used very accurately. Read a post from someone wanting a turbo for a 454 so I thought I'd post as it might help.

Re: Turbo selection calculator
Very nice. I filled out all the info on the first table (User Variable Data). It gives me figures in all 3 Calculated Data tables, but no Example Plots on the table below. Am I missing something? :1
EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out.
My pressure ratio's are way under 1.00 so that's why it's not showing up. But they look low, only around .18 to .19 for all series. That doesn't seem right.

Re: Turbo selection calculator
Hard to say without knowing what info you input. If your ratios are under 1 then some data is wrong. Make sure you input the correct engine displacement in cubic inches, not cubic centimeters or the ratios will be low. If your horsepower number is less then the engine will do NA then it will be low as well. Post your data or a screenshot if you want and I can help figure it out.
