Can you get OEM wastegate springs (think it was the same as later ABY S2)?
A new wastegate costs £745 inc vat from vagparts.

i didn't realise there was a spring in there just thought the actuator held it shut to keep boost

I think Tots in switzerland do stock springs as well as uprated versions (along with a few other rather nice bits):

You probably don't want to go the uprated route with all the associated consequences but in case you do look here.
O34 Motorsport do a 1.9 bar spring:

SJM do a 1.8 bar spring:

I also have a 1.9 spring lurking somewhere if you want to go that route.

Just curious to try a new standard spring as the power delivery seems to have softened. Could just be me ! Martyn and I have had a chat about this hence the fact that I know the wastegate price !! You cannot get stock springs alone from Audi.
