Tial 38mm or 44mm?
As the the topic title states which of the 2 wastegates would be better for 450+ hp. I have the kit in now with a 38mm and my motor blew so Im rebuilding it. I bought a few new additions to my current kit, but just wondering if I should go with the bigger wastegate while Im rebuilding and re-working everything. Thanks guys.

"TRUE OR FALSE
The more powerful the engine, the bigger the wastegate you need
False. This is one of the more popular misconceptions. A wastegate is possibly the only component in your whole engine package that can actually be made smaller as you increase your boost/horsepower output. Use this simple guide:
Big Turbo/Low Boost = Bigger Wastegate
Big Turbo/High Boost = Smaller Wastegate
Small Turbo/High Boost = Smaller Wastegate
Small Turbo/Low Boost = Bigger Wastegate""
According to turbosmart at least. I know this is true for big turbo STI's but I would assume it would be similar.
