size isnt, but quality might be an issue. Ebay wastegates are touch and go.

as long as it functions correctly, a 38MM WG should be fine, as was already mentioned, the ebay quality may be an issue, but I would be willing to give it a shot!

the more boost you run the more efficient your WG is. a 38mm at high boost levels would be perfect (like stated)

if you are trying to run a low boost level then a larger WG might be for you.

id say give it a shot but watch out for creep
