What kind of turbo and boost and consequently sized wastegate are you using?

I have an HKS T45/51 68mm and plan to run around a bar of boost, just want people with actual experience with WG size being capable of holding on their apps... cheers!

yeah sounds like a single 44mm may not be enough for me?

It should be fine of .5 bar. The bigger the turbo and smaller the wastegate the more chance of runaway boost, but given your turbo size you should be good for that boost level. If you plan to run more later, I'd consider a proper 46mm or 50mm (not Chinese please).

Thanks Andrew,

Eric
