Default Is an Audi WAstegate Enough for my setup?

I picked up an audi External a couple weeks ago and was going to use it on the Civic, but then decided to turbo the GTP instead...

3.8L V6
huge turbo
~350whp

This 30mm WG probably won't cut it will it?

i REALLY like the Tial 44mm with V-band..DROOL.. but damn lots of $$

alex in houstons post listed audi wastegates as 38mm, not 30mm.

Maybe I will take it to work and measure it with some calipers.

Hmmm, dunno about you, but this is a 30mm audi external....

This is the WG



This is the size of the inlet, little hard to see, but it's clearly 30mm



I never measured the outlet of this WG, that might be 38mm...but that's not really what matters..right?

It will work....Porsche uses it on some of it's turbo cars. And a lot of people make well over 400hp with that wastegate on them porsches.

if you already got it, you may as well try it. awesome to see that all these people are using the audi gate now. i think it looks awesome, i like the look of a huge ------- wastegate as opposed to those little turbonetics ones, can you buy that dumptube mine didnt come with one, my flange is also fucked up though
