I'm trying to understand.

Think of me as a newbie to turbos, 'cause I am. :lol:

Quite literally it's how the manufacturer cuts the blades on a given compressor wheel. They can make one casting or forging and then trim it differently for differing flow characteristics.

So I should think of this as "Pitch" of the wheel?

No, it's not exactly like a propeller as it's radial flow. The only difference I'm aware of, within a given compressor family, is the height of the blade.
