Only thing I would consder is the intercooler and piping kit IF it comes with 3ply silicone couplers and T bolt style clamps. That might go for $200 ish on ebay so if you can get it for closer to $100 I'd go for it.
If the greddy is real that'e a good BOV but chances are its a china rep.

Well, believe it or not man you hit the nail on the head. I was an accident lol. But my parents love me.
Back on topic, this guy won't part out his kit so I'm just gonna listen to your guys advice and walk away. I'll just save some more money up and just do it right. Thanks for the replies fellas.

Ok, I'll give you some actual advice:
stay away from classified ads until you know what you want, why you want it, and what it does.
You're really not in any position to be shopping for parts yet. Like, at all.
Unless you are dead set on making really stupid mistakes and wasting a ton of money and time.

There are certain threads around here called "stickys." Read all of them. Then find one called DIY FAQ and read that. Then read two or three dozen "build threads" (yes, that many) to see what works and what doesn't for these cars. Then emulate a build thread that worked, or make a hybrid of a couple that worked out well.
But first, go to the "meet and greet" section and make an intro thread before somebody bans you for not following protocol.

The BOV that looks like a Greddy but has really terrible HKS logo cast into it? Probably China.

He actually has 2 manifolds shown. The ebay Taco and the s4 looking one. the s4 one is external wastegate so you would need that along with down pipe. If the turbo has an internal gate you can run the taco taco and buy and ebay DP.
As for is it worth it. I'd say do it once and do it right the first time. I'd see if you can buy some pieces off it such as the intercooler piping kit, intcooler, oil feed/return and other nick nacks then either troll sell threads for a used BEGI/FM kit or get the FM ala cart parts.
