Do it right the first time. If you can't do it right, right now, then wait. You realize this when you screw up the first time.

Turbo kits aren't rocket science. As long as you have some fabrication skills or the funds to pay a fabrication shop to fix the issues you will run into piecing a kit together, then go for it. I would spend more and get a Garrett GT or GTX series turbo. You also forgot to include the wastegate price.

I fabricated my own turbo setup, money wise its a terrible idea, certainly not why I did it. Your going to spent a bunch of money in shipping all these items from a million different places. Then you will have to buy lots of adapters and things because its not a cohesive package. Not to mention the cost of re-doing things because thats just how custom things go.
I'm not trying to discourage a custom setup but there is an inherent price to go along with it, both monetary and even more time. Your total cost is pretty optimistic, I think you will exceed that pretty quickly.
