    Tisk. Tisk. For the price of a kit. I'm not surprised.

    But a cool kit non the less.

    Retail on a new M112 is $3,000, add in the cost for a new lower intake manifold and intercooler, plus the peripheral stuff, and I'd estimate he wasn't much over break-even. $7,000 is lotsa dough, no doubt about that, but I don't think Jerry was getting rich off his kits. (prolly losing money if you consider all the R&D time he and his company put into the project).

    The advantage of going with an Eaton swap is the availability of used parts for substantially less money, and that's exactly what appealed to me about going that route. All the same, a Trilogy kit is one fine looking piece of hardware, IMO.

    With Trilogy off the table, I'm pretty sure IF I'm ever able to get an MM again and IF I boost it, I'll be going Vortech...

    Oh god. I don't think he was getting rich off the kit by any means. Honestly though. I think they could have done a Right Side Inlet and just used existing blower options. Make wire harnesses etc etc. Probably could have been a cheaper priced kit, possibly make a little more profit per kit and options are good too.

    Really the only thing special are the brackets. He should have also sold bracket kits too.

    Oh well. Such is life.

    Why would they do a passenger side intake when the FACTORY intake is on the drivers side???

    And all aftermarket MARAUDER INTAKES (K&N, jlt, and php) are on the drivers side?

    Wouldn't make sense!

    Keep in mind there was no eaton swap option 5-6 years ago!

    The reasoning for the different side intake is to set Lincoln/Mercury apart from Ford. That's the actual reason. Or so I was told from a dealer.

    Correcto! Nothing from the roots side of the table for years but Trilogy so a huge thanks for what they had done for our cars!! Rex is also correct buy all new stuff for youre car for a Eaton swap that stuff really adds up. Are cars are no longer new you just dont see people droping 7-8k on a blower anymore, and with the Eaton swap option for say 3k that was it.. However you sell a new kit you got warranty it , cant do that with used parts.

    Maybe so, but I never heard of anyone ever having a problem with a Trilogy. I would try the 4K risk and do Eaton if I had to do it all over again. Then again when I finally got the right claps the Procharger hasn't had a single problem after that, EVER.

    Were talking about a MARAUDER SPECIFIC setup here dom.

    By the way which side is your intake on with your Vortech setup?

    Not going to get into a pissing match here with anyone. That's what tore this site apart in the first place and why we now have 2 sites!

    Power is power! Pick your poison!

    I was just simply responding to joe's question about intakes.

    ^^^^^ Very true, that. One of the reasons I believe the Trilogy set up was superior to anything else on the market. Excellent QC and after sale support. Pricy, no doubt, but very high quality.

    The Eaton swap can be very reliable as well, but as was stated elsewhere, you're buying and installing used parts, so there can be issues that arise. I had problems with the first M112 I purchased, got those resolved and now the swap runs like the proverbial Swiss Watch.

    I would have gone Trilogy from what I've read here for years but I needed something 50 state legal. Recently went with Dennis' Vortech kit and some parts have already arrived at my door. Thanks Dennis.

    I'm talking about Marauders too buddy. For whatever reason Ford wanted Mercury and Lincoln air intakes on the driver side. I guess it was to make more money off people being that they couldn't swap those parts with "Fords".

    I have a Procharger, not a Vortech silly. The air intake is on the driver side just like yours.

    Even if they are used parts they are still for the most part solid metal pieces, to my knowledge. So I wouldn't worry about buying anything used when it's a solid thing. As far as what you needed to make it all work, I would be a bit hesitant. Probably buy all the solid stuff used and the little stuff new, if I did it my way. Sounds like all used stuff is working though!
