Running Atkins Apex Seals on Turboed streetported S4 N/A? can it be done ?

I was curious as to how well Atkins Apex seals would hold up on a streetported turboed s4 na, it was streetported by rotaryresurrection. If I did it with a cheap setup I would only be running 6psi (safc, injectors, fuelpump). But with a nice setup 12+ psi.

I know a guy running atkins 2mm on a turbo half-bridge, so theres no reason it shouldn't work with a streetport.

But since my car would be an n/a turbo wouldnt it be putting more stress on the seals since it has a higher compression 9.4:1 , where turbo is 8.5:1 or 9.0:1

One thing I'd defintely have to fix is a small oil leak on the oil pan it looks like, is this common on rx7s ? It's right on the corner where the exhaust manifold and omp is at. I do know one bolt on my oil pan isnt there because it was broken inside..but i dont know if its in this same area. I did replace the gasket and use sealer...so maybe the pan is bad ?
