    I know lots of people who kept stock ring gap and are fine, myself included. Hell the fastest stock bottom end 5.3 has stock ring gap

    I agree with you. Just hoping its a less expensive issue(not that my suggestion is cheap lol), but I guess it wouldn't be as bad as other much more expensive turbo's.
