Timing Belt Kit? ECS? Dieselgeek?

Hey Guys,

Been looking into the timing belt kit's since I'm starting to get closer to 60k. Was wondering what's the big difference between ECS's kit and Dieselgeek's timing belt kit.

ECS:

Diesel:

It looks like Diesel's kit includes more stuff than ECS's. They're both about the same, ECS about $4 bucks more, so it's not a matter of bang for buck, just which is the better kit to use? Thanks.

I used ECS, but asked them what brands they were using...

I'll only use Geba(prefer this one) or Hepu German pumps. The Graf castings are awful at best. Also replaced the tensioner piston and accessory belt tensioner/roller as well. If you have not updated the coolant sensor to the new style, worth doing.
