"IF" the sandwich adapter works on the SVT or not, is still up for debate, since it appears noone has yet to do it. The only advantage I can see of using the sandwich adaper, would be that you would be able to intall a one-way check ball at the output side, ensuring that oil can only flow in the proper direction.
and in regards to flow direction using the galley holes I'll just quote myself from
this discussion

As for the equal distribution through the oil galley, this is my Theory. Assume oil-pump pressure drops, accumulator oil begins to enter the system, however since there are no check balls in the galleys, this oil will travel any direction it can. However, since the pump is still spinning, oil can only back feed as far as the pump, because the pump is still working to pump oil the correct direction. However, oil is not being fed out of the pump, but it also can not travel backward through the pump so, this path is neutral. Therefore, oil can only flow through the galleys the proper direction, because only the proper flow direction allows for flow, and if the oil is flowing in it's proper direction, the oil will distribute itself exactally as it would if the pump were supplying. Once again this is only MY Theory on how the accumulator maintains proper flow and protection when attached to an oil galley
Personally, I do not see any real benefits over using one intall methood over the other, all about preference. That being said, I went with the methood I did to avoid the possiblitiy that the sandwich adapter might not work on an SVT.
