Also... picked up the following from harbor freight. Is there anything else I may need?
So long as those are thin enough to get in there, you could do without loosening the manifold of course.

As for the spring, that is up to you and everyone else. All it comes down to is: Do you want or care about the occasional flutter when you release low boost buildup? If yes, install. If no, don't install. Simple as that. I personally think it sounds cool and even better when I'm going through the hills and release it high gear, low RPM/low throttle. If you don't like it or find it tacky, you can remove the spring but at that point, why install at all? If your stock DV is torn, then I could see why; otherwise, you're wasting your time because the DV+ will operate the same as the stock one. The DV+ is there to provide a stiffer spring and only one hole vs 6-7(Whichever number it is. Might be 8).

Sorry to rant, just surprised that people (not you, SSpade) are reluctant to do their own research and prove flutter harmful, despite the overwhelming amount of evidence and support from engineers.
