waste gate

i asked once about turbo set up's on fd's. and i though running a t60-1 turbo might do it a bit of good the only thing is i dont know what would be a good waste gate to run with this size turbo. i have no way of calculating how to measure the size turbo to the right size waste gate. any one have a rule of thumb so to speake ??

Big turbo and low boost=big wastegate(i.e. 44mm and larger)

Small(er) turbo and high boost=small wastegate(i.e. 44mm and smaller)

It kind of depends how the wastegate runner is placed in the manifold too. If it is inefficient then you are going to have troubles anyway. If you have a good manifold and are going to run a 60-1, a 44mm would be sufficient.
