the more boost you run the less wastegate you need.

If you want to try and regulate it very low then the bigger the better. I run a tial 38mm with 20psi, 370 CI 900 whp.

But short answer is just get a 44mm and call it a day. Wont really matter all that much if its a run of the mill setup and you dont plan to be below 6psi.

For me, big enough so that it doesn't creep. I hate that.
