I hear the jgs starter kit is a good way to get started. I would recommend staying away from cx racing, due to they're manifolds cracking.
It might be cheaper to just peice a kit together...
I haven't built one or purchased on yet... so I'll let some of the more experienced guys chime in here.

Make your own. lol
Get a good manifold, turbo(used is fine) and injectors.
Get a generic exhaust, intercooler and piping.
Use a chipburnec and a wideband to tune or a standalone.

We bought the CXracing kit to see if it does well for the price, the turbo is cheap and not very good flow compared to a Garrett. The BOV was crap, the manifold cracked two days ago at the wastegate side of the mani. It didn't crack from heat or bad welds though, the wastegate was too close to the tower and smacked against it due to bad motormounts. After a re-design and a bend on the wastegate pipe to move it outta the way, it seems not to be an issue now. All in all the cxracing kit is crap DONT DO IT. =]

it's debatable, but imo everything but the turbo is somewhat useful. not that i would run a cheapo wastegate tho. as far as bov's go i think if they work they work. my fav bov is a greddy type rs, but there are many better ones out there. honestly jgs kit would be the best for you. i use many parts from them.
