piston rings

ok well i did search before posting so you can't say i didn't. my question is this:
are the piston rings in the d17 better than the ones in previous generations. reason i am asking is because i talked to a guy the other day and he basically said that the main reason for honda motors to go to crap when turboed is the pistons rings blow at a NORMAL boost setting 7-8 psi.
