Rough guide:

16.5:1 = best fuel economy. Never tune an engine to run this lean under load
14.7:1 = stoich ratio for petrol.
13.3:1 = lean best torque. This is a dangerous tune.
12.2:1 = safe best torque. Ideal for wide open throttle.
11.5:1 = rich best torque.

In answer to your question.... 12.2 - 12.5 ideal for torque at WOT, without being too aggressive.

he's asking for the aspect ratio for the turbo, not the air-fuel ratio

Ill think you will find they arent same A/R figures between turbos.

Mine is 1.06.

On most turbos they are something like .63, .82, .96, 1.0, 1.06, 1.15 etc etc

The AR means nothing if you know nothing else about the turbo.

We need more info.
