i just wanted to know what size wastegates you guys are using on your 20b's and with what results, im looking at using a gt42r turbo but am unsure what what size wastegate to use?



ive seen people use twin wastegates instead of one big one .....whats the advantage?

I have a 42r on one of my non-rotary cars. The manifold is dual gated, and I use two tial 44mm wastegates, 10.9psi springs in each



they work great
