Upon further inspection looks like Amazon kit is made by Aisin, they are OEM fluid manufacturers for Porsche.. Its under additional information.
I think both kits are just fine, but with fluid amazon kit is around $50 bucks cheaper. Plus the shipping savings on amazon.

Just completed the transmission service with the ECS kit and redline D4.
The only thing I would add is pan bolts. They can get rusty.

The filter I got from ECS looks OEM to me. The kit was great .. and I prefer Red Line D4 fluid anyway.

Though I think they still have some euro-made parts, the Meyle rotors I put on my A6 were made in china.

Yup, I think they are trying to trick me into not honoring their price mistake!

Don't think so. Revmax rebuilds the valve bodies, so I *would* trust them as seller. But, they advertise it as a Revmax brand. Maybe call revmax and ask if it's OEM or they're own brand?

Or, just save yourself the hassle and buy from ECS or some other reputable vendor?

To be fair, those are a different seller (EuroMotives).

My order was from Import Replacement Parts.
