efini y pipe considered a power mod?
Ok so Ive heard that the efini Y pipe affects flow from the turbos.I already have a intake and catback and next on my list is a downpipe and greddy underdrive pulleys plus removing the airpump.I was also looking at getting a Efini y pipe to improve reliability and also reducing the number of weakpoints in the flow path.Can I run a efini y pipe and of course the catback,intake,and downpipe on the stock ecu without problems?

I had major problems to the point I was spiking to almost 14psi
That's when I asked myself....should I put a valve on the WG or buy the PFC. Hmm.......

I didn't notice any difference in output or response when I added the Effini "Y" pipe. I already had the PFS PMC on the car. It was nice to get rid of more plastic plumbing and rubber hoses. (Now I have the Apex'i PFC).
I don't think it's a big enough change to cause problems by itself. It is really only a small flow improvement.

I put on the Efini Y pipe to cure a cronic boost leak. It worked great. As far as performance goes I don't know how much difference it made because of said boost leak.

well guys.I dont have aboost controller right now.So that why I was a little worried.I wasnt quite sure if the efini y pipe was that much of a power mod as more of a reliability mod.Ill see how things are with just the downpipe.If I get any spiking with the downpipe only then Im going to get a boost controller before I make any other mods.

BOOOYAHHHH!
why would it be considered a reliability mod... the 93-95 y pipes dont break or cause overheating.. the efini y pipe just flows better for more power... so yes. i would consider it a power mod... now would it be something you would notice right off the bat.. prolly not. but still.. dont push it.. waiting to install a part vs spending money on a new motor.... you weigh those options.

The y-pipe mod is more about volumetric efficiency than increasing boost. You can have greater boost with restrictive flow that will flow less air than a less restrictive set up under less boost. You would be better of getting an ecu and dp first and then do some wideband tuning.
