Turbo Swap Kit

I recently ordered OEM Turbos and was wondering if I needed to order this kit to install it. http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E92-335...its/ES2501019/

It certainly would be a good idea to get it, if not the whole kit at least gaskets and seals for oil lines and exhaust flanges, but it probably isn't that much more for the whole kit and then you have any other hardware, clamps, fasteners etc that may not be re-usable once you get it all apart!

Why did you order OEM and not RB?

The parts are one thing, but the work of changing those things...

I would invest in the RBs, but that's me and i'm not you...

Its much less to just send the turbos in to get rebuilt and you come up with the same results
