My wife won this one bidding on eBay. It was “used but excellent condition” The winning bid was $129.90 us dollars at 5 bids. This was my anniversary gift.
It was shipped from Nea Ionia Greece, to Knoxville Tennessee, US. It only took 15 days to receive the package. Shipping was $50.00 Economy.
My wife won it bidding on eBay, it was my
wedding anniversary gift for 2022.
I mounted the SuperSonic to the SARD R2D2 adapter for Greddy style BOV flange mounts. There is a slight size difference however. The inlet flange that came on this BOV is 24mm, but the SADR is 32mm.
hose flange adapter measures 24mm
SADR flange adapter mount measures 32mm
So I added an hose over the inlet flange to match the correct size to test the SuperSonic bov. It works for test purpose under low boost.
For permanent install, use the correct 32mm fitting.
I replaced my smaller weak vacuum hose with the better 5mm hose. I plugged the old hose for now.
