Default Wastegate for high boost applications

Currently i have the Tial .65bar 35mm wg, would you guys recommend just upgrading it to a higher pressure spring (1.1-1.5) or should i upgrade to a 40mm or 46mm wg? Should i go tial or should i look into some other companies? What do you all recommend for a 450whp application with 20-25psi of boost? FYI i have the apexi avc-r. Thanks.

I went from a Tial 35mm wastegate to a HKS 40mm Standard wastegate for higher boost. I also have an Apexi AVC-R Boost Controller and will be boosting the same as you at the Strip. Good Luck!

Tial 40mm gate. I just upgraded from my 35mm tial. I am going to push 400whp on pump gas, so i am taking the extra step to make sure i dont get any boost spikes.

.45 bar. I like to run no boost pressure off the line so i can get traction.

I use to use the HKS 40mm standard also...but I opted for the Racegate. They have been proven over and over.....

The HKS was great to me, but it's time to move on
