Default Is this kit worth it?

I want to put boost on my car and was just wondering if this kit is worth what they are asking or is it junk.

This same question about the same kit was asked like 4 days ago. Its pretty much crap. mostly ssac parts. the picture shown in the auction is a completely different turbo kit.

I think you can piece together a better quality kit for that same price or just a little more using ebay with much better parts i did :

Rev-hard Mani used but only for like 2 months perfect shape no cracks-$175(i was lucky here)
Used Garrett t3 super 60(yes the real thing checked the specs at a local shop after i got it) no shaft play didn't need rebuilding - $250
Drag Gen 3 intercooler new-$202
Greddy type S BOV used -$100
Tial Wastegate(real deal not those "tial style ones" new- $130
DSM 450 injectors-$56
for a grand total of $813 i still have some more stuff to get (oil lines,and piping ) but no biggie all it took was some pacients and hunting on ebay for about a month and i have a kit built with quality parts for less just a suggestion
