Horsepower doens't mean dick, it has to do with how much boost you are going to run on X motor with Y turbo. If you have a huge turbo, and you want to run 10 lbs of boost with it, you're going to need a big wastegate. If you have a medium size turbo and are going to squeeze every gasp of air out of the thing, you don't need a big wastegate.
