I can only guess that at some point some respected person on the other forum posted that the seals didn’t do anything and everyone jumped on the bandwagon, but I can tell you from experience that they do make a difference. I put down 315 rwhp at 10 psi, but my engine also has 9.7:1 compression rotors.

reduced clearances do indeed make a huge flow difference on turbos like rad fans. those 99 turbos flow a lot more air than stock because of those abraded seals. if anyone disagrees tell them to remove their radiator fan shroud and see how little air they move then!
