If they're advertising them as "being able to withstand high boost", then they don't understand what they're selling because it's not boost that's a concern for compression seals (what is "high boost" anyways?) -- it's engine knock that's created by load.
I'm generally skeptical of stuff like this but given my own personal experiences with Rotary Aviation in general, I'm very very skeptical as to their long-term quality and reliability.

they are made from a harder material than OEM. under detonation, they will warp or bend instead of breaking like OEM seals. so they are better insurance for your engine surviving bad tuning or a shady setup.
the downside is they will eat your housings faster. how much faster? im not sure, but i have a set in my TII, and the motor has about 70k on it, still running with no compression problems at all.
personally i like them, b/c i tune my car myself, and if i make a mistake, the engine will still be ok.
tuners like BDC tend to not like them so much, because they know how to tune well, and dont expect to detonate the motor. they are aiming for long term reliability

Everything I've read so far on them has already been said. They're forgiving but when they do go they tend to take something else out with them. Regardless I'm still planning on using them in my turbo 6port due to the fact that 6port motors are a dime a dozen around here. Not really gonna be hurting if I have to replace a housing ya know.

I don't mean to be controversial or bring a sour note to a thread like this. Even though I greatly appreciate the efforts that people go through to make the engine stronger and give it hardier parts, I'm always skeptical when it comes to the new gee-whiz, ninja mega-unkillable apex seal not only because of how other seals in the past have scarred rotor housings but also because it's not what deserves all of the research and engineering I think compared to something like prevention of engine knock. Keep that from happening and it won't matter.
Ever flattened seal-springs before? I have and it still requires opening up the engine even though there's no broken apex seal or gouged rotor housing.

Are the Real World Solution seals the same as the Rotary Aviation seals? If not, I think some people here might have gotten confused.

it seems that theese super seals remind me of some old technology with the HURLEY race seal-the one with double springs-since this is what RA super seal is. would this still be reliable to 20lbs of boost, keeping a tight fit?
