Depends on your set up really... But the stock wastegate is fine if you just add a boost elbow. What truck and mods do you have and what are your goals/what do you want to do with it?

I wouldn't waste your money on an intercooler or an intake horn. They really don't help as much as they are advertised to until you get into much higher HP levels. Your money would be better spent on a turbo that actually breathes. The HE341 on your truck is nothing more than an HY35 with a different ID tag on it. I would suggest something like a 63/68/13. That would do way more for you for about the same money and you would have room to grow later

PS - Banks is overrated and overpriced
