broken y-pipe?
i just got my intake on and when i revved the car the y pipe jumped. i checked the boost pattern and it was 8-7-11 11 because it was cold. i know the pattern is off but is the jump in the y-pipe normal?

At WOT your bov should only whoosh between shifts or if you let of the gas. If its whooshing while you are standing on the gas pedal thats a boost leak. I don't really know what you mean by the y-pipe "jumped". Make sure its on securely. If this is what you are talking about...My connectors on the y-pipe used to expand a ton when I reved...I replaced them.

which acordian style? between the y-pipe and the intercooler? or between the intercooler and the elbow?
which ever it is... make sure it is tight!!!

As far as I know, the early RX7s used an aluminum Y pipe and plastic cross over tube. The coupler between the Y pipe and cross tube always seems to be loose. The fix is to order the late (JDM '99 and up) Y pipe and cross tube which are both aluminum and bolted together. I did it and no more air leak.
