Default T-76 guys, What size wastegates are you using?

I'm putting it on a pretty much stock motor, and I don't want to have any problems with boost spikes. Will I need 40mm+ or would the 38mm Tial do the trick?

Thanks
Frank

Tial 40mm will do the trick, if not the Turbonetics Racegate will also handle it with no problem.

I wouldnt put a 38mm with a T76. HKS makes a very good wastegate. I would use a 50mm wastegate in your application... it will support up to around 1000hp.

I agree. The new hks 60 mm gate is very nice and will handle the volume of exhaust that a turbo motor will generate. The kit usually runs 625.00
