I've used both and I think the turbocity kit was better. It's about $95.00. Don't forget to clean the center section oil passages with a drill bit (by hand). There is one horizontal passage and two smaller holes that run 45 degrees from that main horizontal hole down to the bushings/bearings. You can stick a small bit in after you remove the old bushings. I know you'll have trouble breaking the exhaust side 6 bolts loose. You can't get the closed end of a wrench on some of them. I called turbocity and got some excellent advice. You use a punch and hammer to hit the side of the bolt heads to jarr them loose before wrenching. As far as cleaning, I used oven cleaner on the parts and let them sit overnight. It would be better to take them to a shop to have them clean them. Oh, turbocity sells brand new center sections with blades, etc. for $250 or so. Changing that out would be 10 times easier.
good luck.
