We're going to need a little more information on your setup sir.

Which turbos, which tuning, which injectors, etc., etc. Kind of hard to make a recommendation based upon a rather vague post.

Cheers,

If you plan on bigger turbos or no2 then get a gate. Or just get one with a egr provision that's blocked off so if you decide down the road to run a gate everything is already there

Turbos are stock fuel is stock..jist a programmer, intake, an exhaust.. Might do a atmo upgrade down the road

I lean towards the WG. It gives you room to grow and with a larger atmo upgrade, unless you do the valvetrain or add a larger VGT, EBPs can get pretty damn high (higher than my comfort level anyways).
Cons:
1. Cost
2. One more thing that break

I say no gate if you don't plan on anything larger than day a 72 atmo

If I were a bettin man, I would guess on here most of your responses will be like his ^^^^. I admit, I tend to be conservative on my comfort levels.

I guess the pros would be if you had bp issues you could help combat that, and if you went bigger turbos down the road it would already be there.
The only con is just it is a little costly, but then again, you wouldn't have to buy that along with bigger turbos too..
