Pure MS? ECS? Vast? Blau?

Default They're all pretty much the same, PureMS is a little cheaper but Blau gives you G12

I bought the Blau kit in May then the damper failed in August and I bought the replacement parts from PureMS.

Just did mine, I would make sure to change both belts, both tensioners (both will die on you), water pump, thermo, 2 pulleys, and obviously coolant. I'd use the cam lock kit if you have access to it, the bar itself isn't necessary, but the chop sticks tool is vital. Just make sure the 2 cams and crack to no move, mark them all and you'll be fine.

Default PureMS looks really good. ECS's super isn't so super so careful because..

you'll end up having to go to the dealership needing a couple of things other kits bring. Like their Extreme or deluxe super kit(forgot what they really call it).

Default other way round. Can work around chopsticks but cam lock bar is necessary because...

you need to pop the TB sprockets loose to do the job the right way.
