Actuator Diametre Size?

Can someone please explain (from a suitability point of view), the difference between using an 80mm diametre actuator and a 100mm diametre actuator?

The turbo in question is a HKS GT2835 Pro S (A/R 0.87) - internal wastegate.

I'm aiming to produce approx 275rwkw (@ 18-20psi) with supporting mods and possibly a set of Tomei Poncams on a RB25DET.

Nengun supply the turbo with either the 80mm or 100mm diametre actuator ( SEE HERE ), so I'd like to understand the difference between using either size actuator and also which one would be more suitable for my potential application.

Sorry for the dumbarse question - i've done a search and found plenty of info on wastegates etc, but nothing specifically to answer my question.

I'd send the question to Nengun because i think it may actually be the size of the bellmouth on the turbo 3inch vs 4inch rather than the size of the actuator because typically the hks actuators are closer to 50mm diameter.

The size of the actuator would have little effect, particularly if it's an adjustable type like a HKS one.

      It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.

      Yeah, my moulds and seals are 32 years old now. I think I will continue to not use a pressure washer on it.

      I hear the old "I'd never use a pressure washer on my motorbike" BS in the dirtbike community too.  The only people that have had a problem from using a pressure washer on anything are the people that aren't using them properly.  If you hold the wand any more than 45 cms away from pretty much anything (radiators, wiring connectors, paint, etc) you aren't going to cause any damage.  We've had detailers wreck moulds and seals on cars at work before and the only reason why is they held the pressure washer too close and on the one spot for too long.  If you have 5% more brain power than a detailer then you know not to not do that and you'll never have a problem.
