People keep asking me why I don’t upgrade to a 44mm wastegate… It’s annoying, because putting a larger wastegate in only decreases resolution, and is only needed if you’re looking to run LESS boost. The only reason to run a 44 or 50mm WG is if you’re getting boost creep up. I’m just sick of people thinking that 44mm WG are fucking SIQQQQQQQQQQQQQ and u gotta have it!!! **In conclusion: 44mm wastegates are for pussies and ricers.** ---

Not true at all. Everyone on the internet is a fucking critic. “Oh you’re doing this wrong!” “Why didn’t you do it this way?” “I would have done it this way” When the most they’ve ever done is put coilovers on their siq whip… ---

wg sizing is dependant on alot of factors including the size of the turbo, exhaust housing, the lowest boost pressure you want to run, the manifold used, wastegate placement, along with many other factors ---

Criticism is more like “Hey maybe you should try this color/parts combo I think it works better.” This is more I need to find some way to make myself feel smarter then you. Criticism drives progress, this kind of stuff just annoys people. ---

> [@newman](#): > > Disagree. > > If a vband leaks it’s gotta be machined. If a flange leaks, it just needs a gasket. agree to disagree… i like the vband because you and muscle it together and it will seal. try to do that on a 38mm and you’ll pull threads. although studs would be sweet if they would work for the app. on the flip side, my WG v-bands are a pain in the nutsack to unthread, so i basically treat that whole section (Pass side header, pipe, WG, and 2nd DP pipe) as one unit. aispvionwusdfasdf :ohyeah: ---

I run a tial v44… My car is really gay… I also dont have an issue with it running 33-34psi My next turbo manifold will have 2 vband 38’s though… I like the v band setup ALOT better then the bolt set up on the 38’s… ---

two 44’s would be the opposite of manning up. manning up would be running straight through to the turbo [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/44mm-wastegates/74181.md?page=2)
