I was told to use -34 on big engines and turbos as you have. There is a -34 on eBay which is a friends for Ł20 as new. I down graded my Gtt to a -31 as I was told it's better for the smaller turbos.

34 on my car works better for me,more of a kick and 22-24psi.The 31 I fitted made it feel lame as.The car originally had a -34 which I thought was a 31 so I purchased a collins -31.The car was shit slow.One spring change sorted.
