3mm seal or 2 piece 2mm what is better

was told that for my third gen engine that you dont want 3mm apex seals for one, why is this
because your original rotors and all turbo rotors come with a 2mm apex seal
now when you get 3mm apex seal you need to cut a bigger groove, this then
weakens the wall of the rotor and with all the boost that is not good. So
what I use is 2mm but 2 piece apex seal instead of the 3 piece in which
mazda uses. these apex seals are so strong that they will with stand up to
32 psi of boost guaranteed.

What do i really want?????????????
what is better for a t78 turbo
