We are running a 38mm gate on silvy SS right now with pretty much the same turbo. Its rock solid at 17psi with the turbosamrt 38mm gate. Its making roughly 750-800fwhp.

honestly... almost any wastegate will work...

My JGS 40mm is an amazing piece and I wont ever use anything else on my vehicles. Plus it bolts to a standard tial 38mm flange which is super nice.
