Default wastegate springs universal?

i have this innovative wastegate, i cannot find springs made for any innovative wastegates anyplace and i read on here that they went out of business. could i order a spring from another company like tial and use it in my wastegate? this is the wastegate i have, i believe it's a 38mm.

best thing to do as far as i can guess is pull out the spring thats in there and compare it to other ones like tial and turbonetics to see which is similar in size, why do you need a new wg spring though? just use a boost controller

you wouldn't be able to compress a TiAL spring in that top, looks to be too small

order an ebay cheapo spring and compare it to yours. that way if it dont fit you only lost like 10 bucks!
