Dennis, yes I understand a lot of dealerships have what they call a "kit" but these are the parts they have put together as what they believe is needed. There is no "kit" assembled by Porsche or they would have a set part number for the kit.
I am very glad to see Suncoast includes the T-stat Housing Gasket in their kit, Hennessey's "kit" that I got did not include that part. I can only assume Hennessey's tech's don't take the t-stat housing off when they do the repair. Personally I wouldn't want to do the job leaving the housing on (too hard to clean the lower hose/pipe fitting with the housing still on).
We did not take our thermostat gasket off when we replaced ours, but I can see how some may want to do so. Our kit has now been updated to include both the thermostat gasket and thermostat housing rubber seal.
