turbo swap question..

getting ready to swap my k16's for k24/26's soon and want to know if there are any gaskets /seals/check valves, like the ones listed below, that I need to INSIST get changed when swapping turbos. I see one company sells a turbo install kit that has:
  • o-rings that go between the turbo and the oil tank
  • crush washers for the oil tank drain plugs
  • new check valves
  • washers that go between the turbo and the check valve
  • cap head screws to install the oil tank
Do I really need this ^ stuff?

Thank you
DW

Unfortunately, no monster package for me right now. I sent Kevin a new set of K24's, which I was originally going to do only a 5 bar, flash and upgraded wastegates, but......... decided to go a little further, with his advice, and do his hi-flow k24 turbines and k26 compressor wheels. Keeping injectors and rest of fueling stock except the 5 bar.

Very excited to see how these will perform.
