The spring would have to be the exact same in order for it to work properly, its quite critical on an MFI RS Turbo.

I'm surprised u got the old ones apart i have one sat here infront of me and i cant see how it comes apart???

The newer types have small allen screws in the top.

Maybe urs has been apart before for some reason. Or did you buy it new?
