im pricing out a turbo kit right now and am wondering what size wastegate would fit me best. setup will be b18b w/ 9:1 cp pistons, eagle rods, block guard, fully balanced, maybe valvetrain mods afterwards. t3/t04 57 trim .63 a/r, jrc 6 or 8 in intercooler (not sure wut size to get), bigger injectors (not sure wut size either), tial bov, and all the other stuff. still not sure what ems ill be using. hopefully hondata. im aiming at HOPFULLY 350-400 whp. should i get a 38mm, 40mm, or 44mm wastegate? any other opinions on my setup would be appreciated also, even if they are bad lol.

Unless you have a really crappy manifold design with poor wastegate you should be fine with a TIAL 38mm. For injector size if you go with a Hondata you could get a set of saturated RC 750cc injectors which would drop right in with no resistors required.
