Most holsets come internally gated. However, since they were meant for diesels, the internal gate is often too small to adequately control boost. A lot of guys weld the internal gate shut and use a 38mm external. With the right sized external wastegate and spring, you could run 3psi if you wanted.

If you wanted the turbo to start spooling at 3k, an HX35 would work... but that's a pretty big turbo for what you seem to want. They can make upwards of 450whp. Hell, the HX52 *starts* spooling on my RB25 at 3k and is fully spooled at about 4.5k.
