I had to get another head a few years ago, the head I have now is a 3sge head, BUT I put 3sgte cams with new guides and turbo springs. When I tested the compression of the stock 3sge springs vs the 3sgte springs I believe the non-turbo 3sge springs were 40 psi, and the turbo 3sgte springs were 80 psi (if my memory serves me correctly after 5 years). I'm positive that the turbo springs are 80 psi, and the non-turbo ones were lower by a lot, I just don't remember exactly how much. With all of that said, turboing a 3sge head has potential for valve-float since the springs are softer, which means lower high-rpm power. The 3sgte springs were also a higher psi than the Ferrea dual-coils that I had bought at the time. The stock turbo ones are pretty good if you can get some used ones with some stock turbo cams.

EDIT: you know what, I forgot to mention that mine is a Gen III.
