I plan on doing a PF grow with a Golden Teacher spore syringe from spores 101, and the Myco101 starter mushroom kit from Mushbox. Do you think this is good equipment for me to start with?

sporeworks is one of the best, hawkseye is one of the most discreet. Don't buy a kit, all materials are readily available. Read up and then go to lowe's or home depot and then maybe walmart. Use the search function and good luck.

While these kits are less then ideal, they do work, they can at least show you the process, and what to look for throughout the process, it will familiarize you with what mycelium looks and acts like during colonization, how it acts / looks when pinning begins, and how it acts / looks during fruiting, and how it recovers, so next time, all you have to do is learn how to make your own jars, make your own ffruiting chamber, and watch it grow!>

I shot the whole syringe into some of my first jars, they stalled and died. If you have 125 dollars you can bring in a nice wave of mush. Don't waste your money on a kit. They ripped me like that too!

Ralphstersspores.com kicks ass in my book. He has killer deals, and killer sales, and don't forget to ask for the Strain of the Month (SOTM); he'll send you a free syringe of that strain! He's quick, too. I mailed cash on Monday, had syringes in hand 7 days later. They are spore heavy, as well.
Four days is still very early. It is not unusual to see nothing yet. I would suggest that 83 degrees is probably too hot, and you are inviting contamination. It's hard to say if the holes are too big or what, with no description or picture. If there's verm layer, that's good. If they are really big, maybe you could put some micropore tape over the majority of the hole, just to reduce the size. I would recommend against totally covering the holes.
Good luck, and keep us posted!

You'll just have to wait and see. Maybe you went in at an angle or something.
