Default leak near passenger outlet of ypipe.. what symptoms can i expect?

car feels slightly sluggish. making full boost. will log more tonight.

feels like a slight stutter in accel.

can hear stuttery "wooosh" when near a fence, etc.

hopefully getting new upper hose on there tonight...

just curious

None. The Y-Pipe is not pressurized. Unless it's like a gaping hole.

Default As others have said none, this is part of the intake track, not pressurized...this part leaks a tiny

bit on just about every car I have pressure tested, plus those clamps from the factory usually slide around not being that tight anyways (cause they dont need to be).

yup. if its a big enough hole you might run lean... but it would have to be a pretty big hole

Default that's what i figured. i feel like i can hear it, turbos are loud, stuttering leak noise, etc

not a huge hole. split near the clamp. enough so i can hear it and feel it at about 9 psi under pressure test.

i also feel like i get stuttering acceleration. i haven't logged much yet. haven't had time. been driving the truck, etc.

haven't thrown any codes.
