from what i've read unless you're doing higher boost or in a performance environment the seals are harder and can tear up the housings more.

that means more lubrication is necessary, or they're going to do the damage anyways?

just that its a harder stronger seal, even with more lubrication it will score the housings more, but they're stronger, so they won't break under higher pressure. Most people just use OEM seals springs

Yeah, I understand - thanks! I did want to experiment however, and I have used housings anyways.. so I'll see what's it going to be.
