Wastegate Sizing
Ok,
Does anyone have a good formula or something to determine the right size for a wastegate? I'm building a ported 13b turbo and aiming for 400hp, what size wastegate should I use? What factors are there for choosing a wastegate? Will a 38mm wastegate work? Thanks

38mm is too small.
Run the biggest you can get.
Running anything smaller will guarantee you'll get boost creep.
We typically run the biggest Tial (46 / 44) or HKS Race 50mm or GT / GTII 50mm or 60mm.
Yes, they cost a lot of money.
How much is preventing a blown engine worth to you?
