I would get 15 B.S. posts if I put this on the other forum; the reason for the good numbers are the 99 turbo's and a good tune. The abraded seals make them 10-15% more efficient at the same boost level. I can only guess that at some point some respected person on the other forum posted that the seals didn’t do anything and everyone jumped on the bandwagon, but I can tell you from experience that they do make a difference. I put down 315 rwhp at 10 psi, but my engine also has 9.7:1 compression rotors.

reduced clearances do indeed make a huge flow difference on turbos like rad fans. those 99 turbos flow a lot more air than stock because of those abraded seals. if anyone disagrees tell them to remove their radiator fan shroud and see how little air they move then!

They're more efficient.....yes. Quicker spool...OK. But at a given pressure and at given intake temp...say stock boost levels.....10 psi is still 10 psi isn't it? No difference in max hp at the dyno. Or am I missing something?
