FI virgin, critique my wastegate and BOV

Single 80mm turbo, 6.0 iron block, 700+ hp. Looking at single 46mm wastegate and 50mm BOV based on my reading here. Low boost is not a goal. Would a gate for each bank be necessary?

Personally, I'd run a bigger gate. Single should be fine. I'm using a single 60mm on my car which originally started as a GT47-based setup

I would go 50mm wg and 56mm BOV.

I would run one single 48mm (Turbosmart ProGate) and the one 50mm BOV will work great. You don't need a big gate if you don't need low boost so a 48 would be perfect.

Thanks guys. Looks like I found a good range to go with. I guess as long as I have at least a 50mm range on both I should be good to go. Just gotta finish buying parts and get the biotch put together.
