OP Aries Newbie A Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 4	http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/news/ "Channel Islands, CA (April 6, 2004) - Vortech Engineering, LLC has introduced new tuner kits for the 1998-2000 Ford Contour and Mercury Cougar. These "tuner kits" include all components needed to bolt the system to a stock vehicle, such as aluminum mounting brackets, supercharger oil feed and drain, compressor bypass valve and all required fasteners. These systems, unlike other Vortech "tuner" kits do come with fuel management! Computer tuning is not included and must be installed for proper vehicle operation. This installation allows retention of all factory accessories including A/C and power steering. These systems are available with a satin or polished finish." It also says they are available for returnless style also, and comes with fuel pump, Fuel management unit, and 38lb injectors!!

For some reason i doubt they have effectively changed their older kit... as far as customer service...i think maybe for the contour/cougar crowd maybe..but the mustang guys seem to have a very good time dealing with the company....

But with SCT out now and the new Diablo Predator they have more options. The newer Focus kits will have a Predator that can reprogram the computer so maybe that's why. 2000 Rio Red I4 Cougar 200whp & 210wtq at 9psi 254whp & 276wtq with NX 35shot WRX TD04 Turbo, Cut Short Shifter, Strut Tower Bar, 17" ZN Wheels, Roush Springs, Starion Intercooler, NX 35 shot, HKS SS BOV, Full 3" exhaust,StreetFlight Chip
