must not be too incomplete then ROFL are the intake and exhaust manifold gaskets in the itm kit any good to use? ill be using a stock t25 turbo with 2g manifold until the motor gets broke in, then putting on the fp race manifold and fp 3065. also using stock injectors to break engine in at stock boost.
 
There's always a bunch of little items that you find out you need after ordering all your other parts. Here's a couple of things that you may have overlooked:

Castle plug and o-ring
Throttle body gaskets
Water neck gasket

Those are things that weren't included in my engine overhaul gasket kit. Can't really find any other holes in your list though, it's pretty complete.

i do need the water neck gasket and castle plug/o-ring. the rebuild kit did come with throttle body gaskets. are the itm intake and exhaust manifold gaskets ok to use or are they prone to leak?
 
the one in the itm kit is a 2 ply and ill spend the $12 on an oem intake gasket. ive used the copper exhaust manifold ones before too and those seal really well, they're just 25 bucks and ill be swapping manifolds and turbos in like 500miles so ill wait to use a good one until its on there for good. thanks for your help:thumb:
 
Gotcha. For what it's worth, I have reused the 4-ply OE copper gasket before without sealing issues, and a quick search yields a couple other members who have done the same. I would go ahead and use the one that comes in the ITM kit, they're a reputable company and I'm assuming they know how to make an exhaust manifold gasket that will last over 500miles. Besides, you already have it, mind as well put it to use, right?
