RE: measuring turbine CFM from a turbo

You want a turbine map, if it is indeed the turbine you are talking about.  If you mean the compressor, then you want the compressor map.  The turbo manufacturer provides these maps, though not necesssarily for the asking.
If you're not familiar with turbo maps, this site has a good introduction: http://www.stealth316.com/2-3s-compflowmaps.htm
Turbine maps can be depicted in several different ways, but typically is "swallowing capacity".  The catalog on the Garrett website includes these turbine maps as well as some good tech.  http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/images/catalog/catalog_common/Garrett2007Catalog.pdf

i checked both those links one talks about compressors and the other one doesnt work

RE: measuring turbine CFM from a turbo

Go to http://www.turbobygarrett.com and navigate your way to one of the catalogs.  They may take a long time load but I know the older catalogs at least have some turbine maps; I haven't looked at the 2009 catalogs.
