Thoughts on using the WPC treatment to rotor housings/irons/etc etc?
Prolong life of the seals? Faster revving?

It was done on a buddies build, unfortunately Brian Cain (BDC motorsports) jacked up the engine build so it made zero compression and failed. So we don't know what the WPC would of or could have done that was beneficial. My buddy did do it on his turbo though and it seemed to help. I will likely do it on my next turbo rebuild.

I've seen this discussed on RX7club a few times. Nothing conclusive, just a lot of speculation and heresay. The few mentions of it in use conclude with it not lasting long enough to justify the price--while being vague in the exact length/type of operation.
The full "review" is here (seems more of a puff-piece than an actual review):

I agree, it's more fluff than fact.
(The poor word choice is another give away; pointing out that it is not a coating, but then saying: "...leaving [behind] a hard micro dimpled surface.")
