i built it, GR performance did my fab work and mapping, dastek rolling road,

the shims pre-load the valve spring so it has more effort to stop valve float,
it is a bodge and the reason i didnt do it..

106 springs work yes,
use 1.8 cams too.. longer duration but not too much lift,
they just work perfectly, and give a massive power band increase over turbo cams
