Default T-stat from dealer for $45 or other from ECS/PureMS as part of the TB kit?
I've done some reading on the differences and seen the tests and was thinking of getting the dealer part rather than the cheaper one that comes with the typical TB replacement kits. Your thoughts?

OEM's probably a good route to take Tristan since it is a higher quality part in this case.

Get the OEM part, wether you get it at the dealer or elsewhere.

PSA: If you get the ECS Ultimate WP kit - get the OEM *metal* gasket. That is all.
