imo it will be harder to change that uppipe with the turbo in,then to just yank it all back out.

cracked the lower flex section on the uppipe. y pipe bellows are upgraded 100 psi so they're fine but I think I might have had a small crack in teh lower that I made much worse when I was screwing with my turbo last week.

I'm new to Y pipe stuff...what is the 100 psi upgrade that your referring to?
I have an 06 and replaced the turbo with a powermax. But, I have to go in again and make adjustments to the 4" exhaust....it would probably be wise to upgrade my Y pipe when I'm in there.

i'm referring to the upgraded stainless bellows Matt uses in place of the factory flex sections. they're rated for 100 psi. pm coming your way...
I just replaced my Y pipe last weekend due to a a crack in the flex pipe actually it was separated by 1/4"...
I was able to do it all in 3 1/2 hrs. But I think it would be a big pain to try and take it out without removing the turbo. I can take off the turbo in a hr.
