Took car into dealership for AC issues and they found I had a leaky water pump as well. After getting the quote decided my time was worth less and I'd do it myself; but had two questions first.
1. What recommendation do people have for thermostat kits?
I was looking at these two, was considering the cheaper one but willing to pay more if one is actually better quality.

2. Anything else I should do while I have the Intake Manifold off of my Golf with 102k miles?
I am already planning to media blast the carbon buildup on the values. Should I consider cleaning or replacing injectors or anything else while I'm in there?
