Having been in the industry a long time I can tell you that almost every forced induction kit I have ever installed was more of a "Starter Kit" than advertised. Having somewhat recently made the executive decision to not sell our CJM turbo system parts in a "complete kit", it is easy for me to relate with why it is like this.
There is really no end to it. You can just keep going forever and ever. There has to be a point where a product designer says ENOUGH and hits the release button. Each manufacturer has to decide where they want to draw that line. Sometimes you are better off getting less as the consumer, because you can use that leftover money to customize to your own preference.
When I first got started in the industry around year 2000, back then MOST F.I. kits would without a doubt blow your engine in short time without lots of improvement, especially in the fuel and tuning department. They just focused on getting you the hard parts that you need along with the BARE MINIMUM to get the car to drive down the street.
