Can stock apex seals on a Non-turbo handle boost?

Can stock NA apex seals handle a HKS GT2835R or GT-RS turbo on a custom manifold(internal wastegate), HKS Dual HiPower Exhaust, HKS Super MegaFlow Intake, HKS Front Mount IC, running just enough boost to hit 350hp? If this set-up would work would it still work or work better with a 13BREW 3rd Gen intake manifold?

Thanks,

Mini me

There's no such thing as turbo and non-turbo apex seals.

- 1974 = 6mm two-piece carbon
1974 - 1985 = 3mm two-piece steel
1986 + = 2mm three-piece steel

The same seals were used in all cars from each time period.

Sorry about that, but would the set-up(s) I have be okay on stock seals?

Thanks,

FWIW, the 2835s come alive above 20-25 psi, if you want 350rwhp, go with a 60-1 for 600.00.

You're right I meant to say one-piece. That's not entirely correct though. Mazda actually produced a two-piece 6mm carbon and different spring that were used on some automatic 10A's. Very rare though.
