what????
i can only assume you are talking about Twin Piston Dump valves,these are supposed to be for Escort Rs Turbo's..in truth they don't work well at all......Fiesta RS turbo's use single piston or Diaphragm type.

turbo shaft seals are referred to as "piston ring seals" as that's what they look like - metal sprung ring with a small gap for expansion. I'd imagine they are suggesting maybe double ones to reduce the potential for oil escape from the core ?
