Default does anyone know how to measure a turbo compressor wheel?

i found a dealer that can get me the compressor wheel i need for my broken turbo but he wants me to double check the measurements to what he found by bringing up my part# if anyone on here can measure using the proper terms(inducer,exducer,trim, ect.) i would really apprecciate it, i will bring it to you. the dealer emailed me this pic and the measurments but im to stupid to figure it out

thanks
jason

A is your inducer C is your exducer, the trim is determined with math based on those 2 numbers (trim = (minor diameter / major diameter) ^2 * 100) You shouldint have to worry bout b, d, or e, so long as your are sure on the turbo family and have right inducer & exducer #'s. id do it for you but im leaving town in the AM. unless your on the southside. i *think* i have a dial caliper in the shed.

Good luck!

Ok, i dont have a proper caliper but i do have a metric ruler here and tools necessary to get an accurate measure of the various areas on your turbine and transfer it to the ruler accurate to .5 mm or maybe guestimate a little better im making dinner for the gf right now but once were done eating and she rolls out to see some friends your welcome to come by and we can measure your part.
