Default 38mm or 44mm wastegate?

As with most other tuner cars, most of the manifolds that are sold for my car are 38mm wastegate flanged. I want to run a 44 on my setup, but one manifold is 700 bucks and the other was supposed to be finished 4-5 weeks ago and I still haven't heard anything more about it.

Should I go with the 38mm or the 44mm? The turbo is a T04S 60-1, and I have anywhere from 6-20 psi planned depending on what kind of gas is in the tank

Opinions needed!

44mm, have them change the flange for a 44mm (v-band). 6-20 psi is a broad range but still pretty low, to keep lower psi you want a bigger gate to make sure you can bypass enough gases. from what i hear anyway...

I'd go 44mm

defintly go 44 over the 38, no bs gaskets to deal with, and the EASE of a vband style attachment.
