6th September : Surge Protector Kit.
New Product from R&D Performance

RXP 215 / RXT / GTX-SC Surge Protector Kit
The R&D Surge Protector Kit will significantly improve supercharger clutch and compressor wheel performance and reliability by eliminating compressor surge.
Compressor surge is defined as the negative charge of pressure that causes turbulence in the supercharger that occurs during aggressive of off-throttle operations.
When the throttle valve is abruptly closed at high rpms, the engine decelerates quickly down from 8,000 rpms, however the supercharger is compressing air (creating boost) as the supercharger has to decelerate from 42,000 rpms.
This turbulence is the primary cause of undue stress on the supercharger clutch system and its components.
The R&D surge protection kit utilizes an automotive vacuum assisted Bosch pressure blow off valve that automatically releases the unwanted intake pressure between the closed throttle valve and the supercharger.
As soon as the throttle valve is opened, the blow off valve immediately closes and the compressor can supply its full boost potentials to the engine.
Manufactured from high-temperature silicone hose with an integrated molded riser for the blow off valve to function without hindering intake flow or velocity. 
The R&D kit Installs easily in place of the OEM rubber intake elbow joint.
This kit is a very necessary and cost effective up-grade for all Sea-Doo supercharged watercraft. 
Kit comes completely assembled with silicone elbow, blow off valve, R&D B.O.V. filter, mounting hardware and instructions.
Part Number 613-95003   Retail £169.95
