Anybody heard of Goopy Apex Seals ?

I was going thru a stack of old papers and found this flyer, I got this guys number that was racing in Nopi last year, with a 3rd gen running R85 single and was in the 7 something quaters miles. I was talking to him about what turbo he was using and he said he sells them for like 3500 for the kit, and he wrote his number down on this flyer which i never noticed until now, it says

Aren't most of the seals that are resist detonation a bit very ductile? Doesn't that translate to other problems?

It's always some sort of compromise between hardness and housing "safety." Like if the seal breaks easily, then the housing will be fine.

I think stock Mazda's are still the best compromise for 80% of the people out there.
