    38mm is the standard, go with that unless you plan on making crazy power. i think 44mm is the next step up.

    Just as important is quality. try not to ebay special a wastegate, you will more than likely just end up with problems. ie; leaking, improper boost control, fitment, or poor diaphragm material.

    Im using a turbonetics evolution wastegate. Its a pain to get on and off, but when its on, it fits SNUG. No leaks at all.

    Agreed. Tial wastegates are proven and reasonable priced for the 38mm one you will need.
