I would think 38mm would be plenty sufficient depending on how low of boost you want to be able to regulate on that 3.6

I have a 46mm precision unit feeding a single 76mm on a 6.0 and I can drop it to about 7.5lbs

Huh alright, I plan to run around 10psi to keep it safe. Would I need a 10psi spring then?

So I sent turbosmart an email asking about wastegate sizes, they told me I need a 50mm size wastegate! But a few people were telling me a 38mm would good. What do you guys think?
