Default 38 mm wastegate?

Do you think it is big enough for a stock 6.0 with a TC76 setup?

I run 38mm ultra? or super? on my 346/TC76 combo. It has not given me any probs. It held 8#'s of boost when I was tunning without any creep.

I do dump it into the atmosphere which helps. I do not believe you will have any trouble @ 14#'s

My 6.0L with a PT76 will be using a Tial 44mm, I chose a 44mm because I didnt think the 38mm would hold the low boost levels I am looking for.

Hope that helps a little.

yeah reason i asked on boost numbers was taht the smaller the gate the bigger the boost numbers need to be to not have boost creep. when running a low boost number (like i will) you need a larger WG to flow enough in the short amount of time it has to be open. i was told that when i told them i had a 38 and was only going to be running like 6 pounds, i was told to get a 44 instead
