Default summit vs MPH Vortech kits

Why is MPH's the same price with less?

I know service will be much better at MPH but wondering between the two products. Am i maybe overlooking something?

$2,950 for a full kit to go from N/A to blown? Seriously? I know I'd have to get a Dyno tune and all, but damn...... If this is true I'm boosting.

Neither one of these is a complete kit, its a vortech tuner kit. All it includes is the blower, brackets, and hoses/pipping.

you still need a fuel pump, injectors, spark plugs, fuel filter, maf (if you want one) tuner, and custom tune.

another 1000-1500 there easy, its not even close to a complete kit.

this is the complete MPH kit:

Thats everything you need to go from stock (or whatever) to FI.

The Summit kit includes fuel pump, injectors and filter. The only thing I see that it doesn't list is the MAF and tuner, but it lists a "Computer chip," whatever that means.

send them an email or something and find out what exactly is included. Maybe it really is a good deal.

damm, I musta not paid attention, the MPH kit comes with them as well.

regardless, your still going to need to throw away the summit "chip" and get a proper tune, running it on that tune would be pure suicide.

somethings not right though, it lists it as "intercooler included" as well... and there isn't any way it is (vortech has a aftercooler, its 1300+ bucks). It also says the bypass isn't included...wtf?

This SHOULD bea vortech tuner kit, dunno wtf is going on here, probably would have to call summit and get an exact parts list.

The summit part number is the exact same as Vortechs kit..which includes everything(except the Bypass Valve?WTF?)including the re-flash piggy back chip when you send in your ecm to vortech...I'd have to call and find out....thats really cheap.....although I bought my entire setup for 2500.00.....But the walboro pump that comes with it?Toss it in the garbage,,and get a Focus SVT pump...

Yeah, I know. Someone on here said a few days ago they were going to email and ask if the price was right, and I've searched for that thread since then but can't find it. The price for that kit has been listed at that for at least 4-5 days now, I would think if it was a mistake they would have caught it by now. I wish I had the cash to pick it up before they change it
