    external gate help

    Looks like I will be using my H1C for my V6 (unless an HX40 comes available)
    Wanting to be able to adjust from between 10 and 20 PSI. I have never worked with an external wastegate before and have been trying to research them the best I can.

    Any idea what size wastegate I should get? From what I've read, for a big turbo to run low boost get a big WG? But how big? Any brand better (I'm sure Tial and Greddy and HKS are probably good choices) but are the Godspeed units good too? They are a lot cheaper.

    Thanks

    If you run a small turbine, but want low boost, then you want a Big wastgate. A big turbine with big boost, then you can get away with a small wastegate.

    I have always used tial external gates and they are awsome units. Built like tanks. I even used a 38mm on my turbo charged 318ci dakota and it worked great.

    I love my tial...38 mm with 16# spring on SRT motor with he341 gives 10# min boost with no creep.

    I am using a Turbonetics 38mm Evolution, because I got a good deal on it, on my setup, I can run 12 psi and no creep.

    But I would have gone Tial if this didn't come around.
