The lower the boost the bigger the wastegate needs to be. That's the general rule.

But for high horsepower cars that run 600WHP then a lot more exhaust gas is probably made and so a bigger wastegate is needed even if it's high boost. I'm sure some people with 600WHP beasts will chime in.

I don't see how? I mean it's harder to bypass gases away from a smaller turbo to make lower boost then it is to bypass gases in a bigger turbo for the same same boost....right? That's why internal wastegate turbos boost creep at the higher RPMS in lower boost setups.

I'm not sure about when to get a larger WG when you are looking at 600WHP if it's even necessary to get a larger WG.

i am going for a good deal more than 600 whp and i plan on using the tial 44mm

it should handle that boost/power level nicely
and it is v-band which is very nice as well
