Default Turbonetics Racegate sticking/rusted shut, need recommendations

My 42mm racegate has been sticking lately. I took it apart and there was quite a bit of rust inside, so its time for a new wastegate. I want to run as low as 7si on the low boost controller setting. Any recommendations?

I'd recommend a Turbosmart WG. Highest quality out there IMO. I wouldnt run anything else. TiAL uses a 2 piece valve, and the turbonetics stuff is huge and heavy.

Turbosmart is also the smallest external size, and lightest weight of the bunch. 1 piece stainless valve, nomex/kevlar diaphragm, and the only ones who offer a threaded spring cup (makes WG spring changes super fast)

Would a JGS 40mm be suitable?
