malks, there is no answer to your question, it is totally dependent on steering arm length and steering box/rack travel per 360 degrees among many other factors (car weight, use, tyre sizes...) but if you want something loose (very loose!) to work with then 3 turns (steering wheel) for 60 degrees (total wheel angle travel) on a road car, 2 turns for 60 degrees on a competition car (ie; 1 turn for 30 degrees on open wheelers).
