MidPipe Question
So I'm wondering whether or not you can safely run a midpipe with the following modifications:
Mild Streetport
Tuned PFC
Apexi Intake
HKS DP
HKS Ti CatBack
Stock Turbo/Wastegate
Denso TT Fuel Pump
Injectors 720x1200
I've seen a lot of conflicting information. I do plan on going BNRs/Ported here soon but I have a resonated mid pipe in my garage and want to see what it's like on the car.

You will very possibly see boost creep without the waste gate being ported. What do you have for a cat/mid pipe now? Maybe if you have stock intake/intercooler that will be enough to keep the boost in check. Is your boost level pretty solid now?
This really is one of those questions that nobody can straight up answer yes/no to, the answer is a definite "maybe".

Edit: To answer your other question, currently have the stock cat.

Again, it depends. The tuner could have set up those cells in the PowerFC.
If you hit higher than normal boost for a second you won't hurt anything. You would really need an AF gauge to make sure the levels are good. If you just want to try it out to see how it sounds (and SMELLS) you could easily drive around part throttle with it. Sustained high boost pulls is what can kill an untuned engine.
The stock main cat is the most restrictive part of the system, opening that up opens the engine up wide.

I don't plan on really racing it or taking it to the track until I go BNR either.
I appreciate your response.Thank you.

Don't worry be happy...

BNR's require a retune so might as well wait and slap that resonated MP when you get the new turbos. Kill two birds with one stone. Also get rid of the stock SMIC... It really isn't very good (as you most likely know by looking at your AIT's via the commander)
