wastegate for S80/T6

Just wondering what wastegate you guys with bigger t6/s series turbos are using? This is a 408 S80 truck manifold kit.
I need something that will hold lower boost nicely 8lbs or so and the smaller physically the better.

considering turbosmart 48mm and tial 44mm

I would go with a 50mm JGS. The 80mm B/W unit flows a lot of air so you have to have a capable gate to hold it to 8 lbs.

Get more than what you need. I have a T61 and using a tail 44mm, but now I can upgrade to a bigger turbo later and not worry about it.

Your not gona need a really large WG with a turbo with that size exhaust housing on it, cuz it will flow a lot of air and you won't need to bypass near as much though the WG to maintain a low boost number.
