Not really. I can get used good m90s for cheap. I would rather use an FIC because it has the options I want. To be able to buy the mounting plates and extras would have saved a great deal of fabrication time. I would have paid for this time. I think it would promote more people to supercharge the 4.0 if cheaper piece together options where available.
M90- $x
36lbs @ 3bar inj - $x
Used FIC with harness and jumper - $x
Aluminum mill stock for mounting + hardware -$200
Aluminum mill stock for idler, TB adapter- $50
30+ hours of milling/fab. - priceless.
Just for fun a shop doing $100 per hour that adapter plate is now $3200. It would have been more cost/time effective for me to buy the whole kit. So I will ask again what would you sell your kit for minus the SC, "tuner", and injector? I ask as a customer because I wanted to pay you I really did. Got all this green stuff on this side of the keyboard let me give it to you, but for what I want.
FWIW BK picked up this business model long ago.

I only sell complete kits.
Top mount are complete with SC, SS box, injector, tune, all adapters and hoses, bolts, clamps, etc to complete the job in a day.
All latest kits are using the M90 SC.
Top mount fits under the hood of TJ and the XJ will have to have the hood cut.
The side mount kit fits under the stock XJ hood.
Both kits require extensive milling, shortening and welding to the SC housings to fit.
I don't do BK.

Hey sorry I haven't updated this thread in a bit. Currently in the process of moving and getting a rear bumper for my jeep.
I have been searching for deals on the tuning module and other parts. Also I am designing a brace/adaptor to hold and convert the exit from the supercharger to a pipe that will run to the intake manifold.
