I made my own - you can as well if you can cut and weld steel. I'll snap a picture over lunchtime today if it's helpful to you. All you need is a bracket which attaches to the turbo and holds a hardware-store spring in place around the wastegate linkage rod. It's like $5 worth of materials and an hour of time versus $120+ from Heath.
For the GM-8, you'll either need a bellcrank to turn the actuation path or you'll have to mount the assembly 90° out from the way I've done mine (GM-4). My wastegate rod moves front-back, yours will move up-down.
Here ya go...shots are from the top and from the front end.
All you're doing is replicating the pull of the vacuum diaphragm against the wastegate.
ETA: to set the tension of the spring, you'll really want a boost gauge...which you should have along with a pyro gauge anyway.
