just noticed that they say that the substitute thermostat is really the exact same part as the oem
and that there is no reason to purchase it. Do you agree, or would I be better off buying the upgrated one?<ul><li><a href="http://www.dieselgeek.com/Detail.bok?no=372">http://www.dieselgeek.com/Detail.bok?no=372</a></li></ul>

I went with the DG kit...
it has everything you need plus the handy water pump removal bolts which are quite helpful. I didn't bother replacing the t stat since my car hasn't shown any signs of a failing one.

no crank seal included with the DG kit...
it includes cam seals, but they don't need to be replaced unless leaking. I haven't heard of someone doing the crank seal during the tb change. Unless it was leaking I wouldn't mess with it.
