Default Broken valve spring

I have a broken valve spring and was looking at prices. Does anyone know what the difference between turbo and n/a springs? The turbo ones are half the price.

For a 944 I assume?

For track car, race car, or street car?

Most class rules require the stock valve springs, some do not. If you are just replacing one spring pair keep it stock. Also early or late motor? Stock cam I assume?

Also depends on if you're going to redline higher than stock... Lindsey sells a few flavors.

IMHO, I'd change all of them. Otherwise you'll be dealing with another broken spring soon. They just wear out over time.
