38 should be fine or get a 40mm that way if you decide to go bigger in the future you have some room to grow.

A 1.6l with a 57trim will do just fine with a 38mm wg. It's when u have a big turbo and are trying to run low boost that a bigger wg is needed.

What power level are you looking to make? That number will determine the psi you will need in order to make said power. A Tial 38mm will be good.

A Tial 38mm would be perfect for that power range.

Bringing this back to the top...

What about 3.0L displacement, with a TO4E 60mm, 60 trim - .63A/R? Running between 7-9 psi.

I was originally thinking a 38mm, but wondering if it will not be enough to control that little boost... Problem is 38 to 44 is a decent jump in price...This is for 1/2 of my engine - as it's a 6L v8...so I still have to buy (2) wastegates.

38mm is perfect for your set up!
Tial or Synapse...

I'm running Synapse for both my BOV and Wastegate and I love both!
