I while ago I saw someone who ran a motor with high boost and stock injectors.. He had dents in the rotors from the detonation.. I am curious if you saw anything like that too?

Slight dent in the face that the seal broke in.



I tore down an engine with 12,000 miles on it and did not find any abnormal wear on brand new housings using these seals in a turbo half-bridge.

What type of damage did they do to the exhaust housing? I'm VERY impressed with these seals so far. Good testing scathcart!

Nothing. The seals remained in their grooves, one just cracked.

If you really want it, I suppose I could do it. Its not very exciting... a pic of a bunch of broken seals all sitting together and an iron cracked on the dowel pin?

No real damage other than the slight dent.

I'll consider grabbing some pics this weekend... though I have no other real reason to head to the shop until the insurance cuts me a check and I can replace all of my stolen tools.
