Default Upper Heat Shield - Bolt Count?

I was preparing to replace my wastegate. I can see 5 bolts on the upper heat shield. Was wondering if there is a hidden "Bolt from Hell" that I do not see from upove? I assume the only difference in my Stage 2 wastegate from stock one besides the adjustable arm is maybe a heavier spring inside? I had read that the AGP WG opens at 14lbs. Anyone know the stock and Stage2 opening lb. levels?

You got it, 5 Bolts is all there are. Use a 6 sided box end ratcheting crescent if you can and socket/extension for the two or 3 that you cant get to with the crescent. I say 6 point because those babies are hella' tight.

Correct on the s2 wga as well.

I am not sure on opening levels.
