Do the valve springs need to be changed? I'm building a zetec turbo... reconditioned the head but have left the original valve spings, is this ok.?

F4T_RS- it's fine if you don't want a lot of power. Like, under 200bhp.

standard valve springs wont go past 5psi of boost (depending of the condition of the valve springs.) witch is very point less not to change them
