the thermal pellet limits oil flow to the rotors to help it get to operating temperature quicker and get the car to running with lower emissions quicker, also to raise the oil and coolant temps at the same rate roughly.

The kit won't have the thermal pellet. As the website says, it is only for 86+ 13b. If you saw the kit on their ebay store or something and it says that it has the thermal pellet, it is probably just a mistake.

When I bought my kit from Atkins I didn't get an actual thermal pellet, I think they mention what they do somewhere on the website.
