OEM Brands vs VAG Labeled Stamped Parts

[thomascgty]

Except for the pricing, any other differences only for the following parts that are in, on, and under the supercharger?

• Supercharger Intercooler Cores
• Thermostat
• Oil Separator
• Thermostat
• Temperature Sensor
• Vent Tubes

FCP Euro and ECS Tuning shows OEM brands like rein, VNE, febi bilstein, Mahl Behr, and Hengst.

I would generally go VW/Audi brand on gaskets since those only have a few dollars difference.

Thank you.
