Boostn7,
I did have to sit back and think about how and what order everything went down since it was a span of about a few months, but my last post is accurate. Hope this helps you out.

no i am just , saying there is a difference between 417@19 and 400@15 ..., the engine would run a lot more "relaxed" if you will @ 15psi , less chance of detonation and no need for race gas , thats all i am saying

Ok, thanks.
Kind of surprised to hear the Atkin regulars are holding up when their own cryo'ed seals or even the "black seals" did not.

Its very obvious on your torque curve your boost was not stable and kept climbing with rpm.
Did your motor let go on this exact run @ ~6700rpm ?

Like I said, measures were taken so it didn't happen again. I would use the cryo'ed seals again, just didn't have any at the time.

Just so your not confused. Atkins doesn't make super seals.

motor built and installed!
2 quick questions..
1. will having added the HKS twinpower and upsizing the intercooler significantly throw off the last tune?
2. In terms of Turbos what will be a suitable upgrade ( 400RWHP on PUMP! @ 12-13psi)

Now Ernie is switching to NRS seals
I've had Atkins before and it always breaks in the same spot the Tips of the seal
and it has ruined a few of my rotors/housings and a turbine blade

swicthed to RA seals and quess what? I have a dozen housings and rotors
collecting dust for several years now, since I have not had to change nothing
and those marks on the housings have had 0 effect of my compression or driveability....

as for a Turbo for 400rwhp @12-15 PSI
go with a PT-61 .96 for more top end or for maximum turbo responce go with a .81 P trim

Actually I havn't had any bad results with the Atkins seals, but with the amount of boost Im going to run this year, I thought it would be wise to upgrade to the NRS seals.

OEM is good for stock to mildly mod'ed , You break a seal
You could be replacing a rotor, housing and even a turbo

RA super seals and NRS and the like
are for people that want to push the envelope and will be refreshing the motor after a hard season
