If its a tial spring it should fit into the WG. It's a more beefy spring (more spring tension=more PSI it takes to open it) thats why its "wider" than ur 10lb spring.

Re: wastegate spring..dif size?
he gave me a 10lb spring with it that fits the top and bottom. im guessing its an ebay spring or he got another top from somewhere. the bottom seems to have an area for 2 dif sizes. but the top is only for 1 size. can i buy just the top hat from somwhere?

Re: wastegate spring..dif size?
it should fit if it is a tial spring and tial wastegate. Do u have pictures of the bigger spring not fitting into the top hat of the wastegate? also is the bigger 14.5 psi spring painted blue on it?

Re: wastegate spring..dif size?
make sure you got a upgraded map sensor 
and dont pinch the diaphram when bolting down the top
tial has a video on their website how to change springs
