Default What rings work best for turbo applications?

Just wanted to know what piston rings you guys have the best success with? (SRP pistons) For 300 to 450 whp street applications? Strongest, and most durable.

Yeah, I heard alot of bad things about total seal. They have a probelm with seating properly and then when you call them and tell them th you have a major laekdown problem, they tell you to put in non-synthetic oil and they will magically seat!!! WTF?? DO NOT BUY TOTAL SEAL!!!

Total seal are the best i have used I have used je and honda oem

The problem w/ toal seal is that people don't get the correct finish on the cylinder
when honing u need a 220 grit down to a 100grit stone that's where the mistakes are made.
