Seams like overkill. What turbo will you be running?

I'm running the Turbonetics Deltagate MarkII with a T04E 60-1 and it's SUPPOSED to run 10 lbs (I'm guessing it's an 8-9 lb spring or something) and it's creeping up to 15 lbs on the highway in 3rd and above at higher RPM.

I have the TIAL 46. If you got the cash, go for it.

Probably is overkill, then again with a really great WG, you can certainly set your boost controller more aggressive in terms of response...

It's plenty big and could be considered overkill. But is overkill in that area really something to worry about?? I don't see how it could be. I just think it's a good move. If you want to upgrade turbos later or run more boost then you already have a good wastegate. Just my .02

I'm putting one 46mm in my cym so you have plenty... If you really want a big wastegate, get the 60mm HKS GT wastegate.

It's dependent on turbo exhaust manifold design, but for most cases it'll work fine.
