Like the title says, will the spring I'm using to secure my turbo blanket hold up? Will the heat make it snap?

That looks like a pretty stout stainless steel spring, you should be fine with it.

Good to hear. I did it that way cause it was quicker and easier than cutting cable and crimping them. I seem to have lost my crimper that's sturdy enough and don't want to buy another one just for this job.

Safety wire work's great. I have many many scars on the backs of my hands because of heat shields and safety wire.

But that is extreme over kill. That should hold up just fine.
