How do I know what size wastegate to buy

I am trying to figure out what size wastegate that I need to get for my setup. I have seen 38mm, 40mm, 44mm. How do you know what size to run.

There are several excellent resources in the FAQ regarding wastegate and piping sizes.

When it comes to wastegates, when in doubt, go big.

However, having some more info would be nice. Turbo, manifold design, etc etc etc.
