ill be running high boost.... ok so a 38mm should be ok yea??? what happens if you run a bigger wastegate than whats needed???
ill be running 30 lbs high...
Depends if you are going to be running low boost or high booost. If you are running high boost you don't need to divert a lot of exhaust so a smaller (rationally) wastegate should be sufficient. If you running low boost, you need a lot of more exhaust diverted so a bigger one (rationally) is better. Now keep in mind you don't want something too small where it can't control the boost at all either. Also having smooth transisitons and good port work is also a factor.
What he said. I have a Tial MVS 38 on my MHI Evo III setup, and at times I wish I had something bigger, because I can't run low boost the way it currently is. More port work is needed. Until then it just hits the low target boost and creeps far beyond. (TGT is 1 bar). Thats what I want for daily...it apparently likes 20-22psi more though
The only good thing about the smaller MVS gate, is there is more room.
