I've always used Tial for my BOV and wastegate. But on this car, I opted for the Precision 39mm wastegate. Also, I am on a stock motor using 60lbers (8psi). The best thing you can do here is switch to the 2bar map sensor. Go speed density and bypass the MAF.

Precision 46mm wg is a lot nicer than the tial IMO, also race part solutions has a 50mm bov for $100 that we've had really good luck with on cars.

i went with the precision 46mm wastegate, very nice unit and comes with ever spring you need to run 1-25lbs of boost

also i used the 50mm RPS BOV from modular turbo, a sponsor on tech, Almost identical to the tial unit but about 40% of the cost. Looks great and came with stainless and aluminum flanges. Very nice unit and sounds very good too

I am running 36lb injectors on 6-7lbs, so i think 60s will be plenty fine for 10lbs
