You shouldn't need any. They include the appropriate gaskets. You should have received 2 TB gaskets and 1 IM gasket with it. See pic below.

some users were saying instead of cleaning the intake manifold gasket just get a new one.

you get a new one with the kit. you dont need anything from the dealer. all the replaceable stuff is included.
good luck and write a review when done.

You reuse the metal gaskets. No need to replace them.

Ah yes, good point. Don't throw away the metal gasket between the lower and upper IM
