Carbon seals made by racing beat are made for N/A only applications, They specialize in high reving engines. Your statement is wrong for HIS APPLICATION. For any turbo appliction you would be correct.

The recommendations for his engine would be as follows; OEM or Racing Beat.

Hey Khan was the mpg on the street port?
Well my engine is a 6 port turbo running low boost on the TII EMS so its impossible to compare before and after. I never ran it N/A after the rebuild. The car probably gets 10-12mpg. I'm sure I could get it up to 15+ if I drove it easy, but thats no fun Needs a standalone asap.

They always try to hide and contort the truth; Women are money pits.
