Tial Wastegate Spring

Hi everyone, this might sound like a completely weird question. But here it goes, does it matter who manufacture's the spring for the wastegate? I mean a spring is a spring correct? I don't have to buy a spring directly from Tial. Would it be possible if I could just use this?

Let me know what you guys think. I was just curious. Thanks again.

Thats not a wastegate spring so i dont see how it could work.

A spring is not just a spring any more than a piece of metal is just a piece of metal. If you are using it for more than scrap, there's a lot to a spring other than the name. Yes, buy the correct spring and nothing else.

How come anytime anybody links to ebay anymore it's complete garbage?

Because ebay sells cheap stuff, so it's cheap stuff. You get what you pay for kinda deal

As I thought. Thanks guys. I'm gonna get me the real deal from Tial or one of the vendors.

why dont you just bend a paperclip into a spring like shape... but in all seriousness you dont want cheap or RC car parts on something as important as your wastegate.
