You should be able to get away with a 38mm, but personally I would go for a 44mm as ive experienced problems with boost creep at the top end of the rev range when using the 38mm, im sure part of that was to do with the manifold design in question not being ideal, but even so the 38mm certainly exagerated that issue.
