Because that is not a "kit" - that is a bunch of junk parts thrown into a box. You should do some research on how a turbo kit works, and what parts are involved. Start by asking yourself, "how does the exhaust get into the turbo?" and then look for the necessary pipes to do so.

Zip ties wont work, the charge pipes don't even have rolled edges. Duct tape might hold it together.

It comes complete with braided hose wrap, a little gray electronic 'mystery' box, and what looks to be a battery relocation kit.
