Not required, as long as you reinstall properly you'll be fine

Yeah we did the same upgrade and reused the springs and retainers. No issues in at 8k miles

I hope you have spent money on other things like downpipe, tune etc before shelling out big money for the cam. Not much gain with a stock turbo unless you are getting it for the fuel lobe to run e85 on.
