Dondo's Pettit Supercharger install by BHR

So here are the pics I took while BHR was in Seattle.
I would like to personally thank Mike (Dondo) for going above and beyond in his hosting of BHR. And the rest of the NW people we met and spent time with.
Thank you. Thank you very much.

I made a little visit to Portland OR while I was there before the install. Met with Zoom44 and pdxhak.

Nice pictures! I think Dondo's 8 is the best looking silver 8 out there. Nice.

Again I would like to say thanks to Mike and everybody else in the Northwest for a wonderful time. Nice to meet some new people and see some old friends.

Thank you.

I believe Cam's last name is "Pettit".
PET - it
The French word for "small" is "petit"
peh - TEAT
"Pettite" is sorta not any of the above.
Maybe you are a Yankees fan?

Those are Advan Model 5 wheels.
they were discontinued in 2008 so they are very difficult to find, you'll need to look for a used set if you want a pair.

If you like the style, look at the Advan Model T5, it's what replaced that wheel and what I have on my car but know that neither model is exactly 'cheap' and if you get the T5's you'll be waiting a while since they need to be shipped from Japan.

back to topic at hand...


awesome install guys! At the rate you guys are installing Pettit kits, you might as well just come out with your own SC since you're getting so much experience with them.

Now insulate the inter-cooler hoses; the Home Depot plumbing department has insulation made for hot water pipes that works really well.
