Default Should I buy this?

This is my first Honda build and first turbo build as well..
I need help deciding wheather to buy this kit or not. I would REALLY appreciate help.
Price $525
Here is what it is listed:


t3/t4 .50/.63 57trim turbo with feed and drain(Just need a bung for your oil pan)
35/38mm WG with fire ring(has a 12ish psi spring.... never got to find out)
SSAC style mani with a shitload of bracing
BOV
2.5" DP w/ 3 o2 bungs and dumptube integrated to be "legal." Need to be running a slim-fan to work with one of the bungs.
eghey pipes that have been cut to fit. Real tight squeeze that requires cutting some plastic off the bumper and the bumper fits real tight. Managed to get everything in and keep the crash bar.
FMIC w/ all couplers and t-bolt clamps
DSM 450cc injectors(I might supply the resistors too, stock injector clips will plug in to the injectors)
Socketed P06 ecu w/ basemap (I'll need a p28 or something to replace it)

I'll say no unless you don't mind replacing parts down the road.

dont waste ur time with that kit. You are better off getting a used drag or revhard kit, you can find them complete from anywheres from 1000-1500 and most of them kits are good for over 300hp

SOME people do but most of time they end up replacing most the parts that have cracked or broken,it just not worth it in the end
