ok, but you can still use the tuner kit the way it comes? so you dont NEED to change ur injectors, pump etc when supercharging? id assume there is a power difference then?

you will need to swap all that out, better to just do it all at once

so basically the tuner kit cant even be used until replacing all of those other parts anyway...so i guess the tuner kit is for someone that thinks they can get the other parts cheaper somewhere else or something like that?

Tuner kits are pretty much for ppl who plan to go past the average kits boost/hp level ect...
This way you are not wasting money on injectors,maf,tune,ect... This allows ppl to buy the blower and hardware and be able to upgrade to larger injectors,maf,ect.

IMO, if you are still on the stock block, just get the full kit. It will not be worth your wild to get the tuner kit unless you can get a hella good deal on the rest of the parts needed.
