44mm Tial should suffice.....you could get a 46mm Tial, but I don't *think* its that much "better" for your goals. I'll let others chime in, but I say 44mm Tial

turbosmarts are in my opinion better with the valve compared to the tial std valve but thats jsut my opinion. heck i sell both of them and had great success with either one.

I think it really depends on the size of your turbo and the amount of boost you are running.

If you want to run a HUGE turbo on a small amount of boost, get a big WG.

But if you plan on running a high amount of boost all the time. . . your creep problems will be minimal with a smaller WG.

Personal preference. If you go with a tial just avoid the "deltagate"
