When we were in Australia early last year, we were staying with Jon from RX Engineering and we were helping around his shop for the week, and went to the Jamboree there. Anyway back on point...2 sets of those RA seals died within a couple hundred kilometers on one of the cars that Jon was working on. One set died at about 20lbs of boost. We pulled apart the engine and rebuilt it with another new set of seals. The ones that came out of the engine were concaved. New set in, started engine and drove most of the night to break it is. Next morning, dyno'd the car, and they did the same thing. Put stock seals in it, and it ran fine.
