Hey,

    Its funny let you mention the wastegate spring. I am in the prosess of have some of those made. If you or 
anyone else is interested in obtaining one of these WG springs contact me at : zing@telerama.lm.com 

  Please if you have an idea of what you would be willing to pay for one WG spring also include that info. I 
am trying to work with this guy to get the price down so they will be reasonable.

  My intentions are to produce a spring that will give you about 1.8 to 2.0 on the digi gauge without any 
other spacers. To trick the fool pump is easy and I will have a instruction sheet describing what to do.

  You do not want to try to put JUST the 20v head on your 10v block hter are to many things different. Stick 
with uping the boost and keeping things clean. You will come out with about 220hp with the WG spring. The 10v 
engines are torqueier though the 20v engines you can get more hps alittle easier.


    I will keep you posted.
