Try dumping that gate to atmosphere until you get the bigger one. If there is any pressure at all in the downpipe it will have effect it. Worth a try since your going to have to replace the gate pipes anyway if you run a larger gate. Just make sure its not shooting exhaust gas at something flammable. Make sure you check over the boost source to controller to gate sensing line for any leaks.

Like I said at the track the little 38mm is holding the S482 on my car down to 7 psi just fine and I dont have any exhaust leaks pre-turbo. So that 40 should do the trick.
