Default wastegate springs

I'm going to upgrade springs in my tial as a temporary fix until I go standalone. Is changing out the spring as simple as I'm assuming? I don't want any surprises.

yea it's easy... there's like 8 allen wrench bolts on top of the thing. just remove the bolts in a criss cross pattern, don't put too much pressure on one bolt.

once the top part is off the spring is there with a little rubber boot, and they just slide in and out pretty much.

It seems that all the springs 1bar and greater are 2 piece springs, is there anything that needs to be changed in the wastegate to accomodate those?

make sure you know what pound spring you put in because your wastegate might not open until you hit 20+ psi

I am too lazy to hook up my profec and too impatient to wait for a special order spring. I went down the street and bought a mbc so I'm happy for now, until I turn that dial too far.
