UPR BoostMaster Pipe

95 stanger · Mar 8, 2008

I am looking at the UPR BoostMaster Pipe for my Vortech blown 331 and was wondering if anyone else has this piece and how well if fits a 94-95 car vs. an Anderson Power Pipe.

Stanger007 · Mar 8, 2008

I've got the powerpipe. It is very pricey and was somewhat of a pain to install for me because their instructions for cutting weren't at all where I had to cut mine. Overall it was a great mod, I saw just over 14# on the stock pullies and stock heads at 6200rpm.

I did buy a new elbow for the powerpipe, the one that comes with it with the reducer just was not a satisfactory fit. Instead I bought a 4" to 3.5" 90deg elbow and that fit EXCELLENT.

I haven't personally used the UPR but have heard mixed opinions from those that have.

I have one... Personally I would spend the extra money and get the afm powerpipe...

I had the UPR on my 95 GT w/ a Paxton Novi 2000. Sorry I dont have any pics. It got the job done but had to cut away some from the fender hole. If your not set with spending $200+ for the Anderson pipe then the UPR works good.

THe UPR pipe really doesn't fit the SN chassis well with out cutting a huge hole, the AFM is the way to go.

Stanger007 · Mar 10, 2008

Anyone happen to have a picture of the hole needed for the UPR? The AFM pipe requires some cutting as well, I'm curious to see what the UPR requires.

I am in the middle of a UPR install. It is not a great fitting piece but you get what you pay for. I am finding out the huge hole story is true but I cant see how the AFM piece would be that much different. I dont understand the positioning for the bypass hose fitting. I am sure it will fuction well, just does not fit well.

Take some pictures of the install, I can host them up if you don't have a spot, just shoot me a PM and I'll give you my email.

I am curious to see how it sits in the fender etc.

Not really much to speak of as far as quality, its just a plastic ABS pipe

I will get some shots of it but I am not to happy with the fit and my work either. I had surgery on my hand three weeks ago and probably jumped into this project to soon. Oh well, It wont look to bad. I will get those pictures tomorrow. I took the day off (sore hand)but it should be done about mid day I Hope. I think they changed the pipe some because when I had one in my fox the bypass fitting was at the intake of the charger now it is way down by the MAS inside the fender well. I just did not like the elbow that the SQ came with and as long as this adds some more power(any at all) I will be happy. On a side note I paid $89 tok the door from billit depot on Ebay so I am not that dissapointed in the fit.

I honestly would skip this pipe and do the AFM one. Yes its alot more money but I would guess it fits a good deal better and wont make you mad trying to install it. UPR had to have changed this thing because it just does not seem like the one I had in my 93' The bypass valve bung is all wrong and it just does not seem like it will fit an sn95 car at all. I will play with it a bit more and if It dont fit it goes on the auction block. I may just bite the bullet and get the Power Pipe now that I have a hole in the fender to fill.

Now that you mention it I remember the bypass valve bs too... AFM or bust man..

well I beat the pipe. What a pain in butt that was. I am not that pleased with the cosmetic aspect of it but in the morning I will start it up and see how it acts. I really found myself making a big hole. I guess once I get it all the small details finished up it wont be to bad but it definately does not fit this car.

I had the Anderson and I switched to the UPR. The UPR fit better for me. My hole was already there so maybe it had something to do with it.

With the Anderson the wheelwell was pushed down really far.

There is no need for cutting anything if you are installing the AFM powerpipe for a NA application. I have one and the installation was very simple.

this is a blower application. I do not like where the mass air is and I think I will relocate the air temp sensor to the fox location. All said and done its O.K. Now I need to get this thing tuned.
