        True, the seals are made of unobtainium : ) But it gets worse.
        Will soon introduce nitrided unobtainium seals. This is in
        response to the drag racing maniacs running 30+ pounds of
        boost with occasional detonation. The seals still don’t break
        but they can be bent downward in the middle when at high
        temperature and detonation slams them down, bottoming them out
        on the spring seats. The nitrided seals retain their strength
        at higher temps.
