Original were so loose.
2,5bar boost and ~3bar back pressure was enough to make valves float.
I had 400hp with orig springs too, but very very low rpm.
Yes, even the bigger turbine wasnīt too big and yes I wanted more useable rpmīs.

Here is the pic from the situation before new valve springs.
407hp/2887rpm and 976nm/2565rpm
