38mm should be perfect.

if you want you can get 44mm and have alot of room for upgrade.

also depending on your mainfold design and where the wastegate is placed the bigger gate could help with boost creep.

i would say most people run a 38mm though. im running that on a hopefully so to be 350-400whp..
