10lb spring will be fine for 15-20 psi.

I don't see the need for such a big wastegate while running the turbo in that range of boost. Maybe if you were trying to limit boost to 10psi or lower (with that turbo) running up to 8k+ rpms.

You're right, he doesn't need a 60mm. I was just plugging what wastegate I have

A 40mm would be fine for what he has.

I have an HKS 60mm II wastegate. The build quality of the 44MM TiAL I had on my 2 rotor was much better. With a GT35R compressor there was no boost creep at redline at 10-11psi.

Some of the eBay ones are not made by HKS. They are knock-offs.

HKS GT2 60mm WG

I have had every type of Tial and they dont compare, all other brands are secondary choices realy.

GT2 = easy WG spring changes, very very configurable (5psi to 29+psi) full spring kit and all tools needed when you buy it, the way its made and the finish is first class, best on market. Great product.
