Ordering OEM turbo replacements, are the install kit and hoses necessary?

So I know this N54 is a whole different type of special when it comes to parts and what not, but I'm ordering some OEM replacement turbos and just trying to figure out if it's really mandatory to order the oil/coolant lines, and the turbo install kit..?? I've reused those items in the past on many of my previously turbo'd vehicles with no ill effects, but I imagine the only reason people replace them on our cars is because they are oh so fun to get to..

Just taking suggestions as to whether or not I should replace them if they appear to be in proper working condition.

And I'm sure someone may ask, but I'm planning on going with Tischer OEM replacements as nobody else really offers OEM replacements in the $1k range.. I don't plan on exceeding 400-450hp as I want to use my car as a DD, so I assumed this was the way to go and plus my budget from start to finish is about $1500 so I was basically left with OEM as my only option anyways..

Thanks!
