Per this write up what does it mean on page 6 under the "Here's how to read the graph" section...Their (Turbonetics) standard tempature is 545 deg R?

In the equation that goes with the Turbonetics graph, the factor inside the square root sign is air in temp/545. That means that Turbonetics based their graphs on a temperature of 545 degrees R, or 85 degrees F. If you are trying to use their compressor map, and you have a flow which was measured at a different temperature (70 F in the example) you have to adjust your flow using the equation provided in order to find the right point on the graph.

A little off topic, but Ray Hall has a free turbo calculator that even plots on compressor maps. Pretty neat little tool ... I've attached it here.

Where can I get the Buick Garrett turbo maps at?
