Y-Wings do pretty well with a TLT or occasionally Synced Turret. Other ships are putting pressure on them though, e.g. the Scurrg, so they're not quite as competitive as they used to be.

IMO I wouldn't recommend 4 TLT Y-Wings; it's painfully borning to fly, and it either does really well (being frustrating and unfun for your opponent) or really poorly (being frustrating and unfun for you), depending on what your opponent flies and whether or not they're good at getting into blind spots and rapidly focus-firing your ships to death. In the end, there are much more fun ways to fly.

I think a TLT Y-Wing like Kavil or a cheap Syndicate Thug is a good harasser and a valuable part of a larger and more varied team. It can push lethal damage onto an evasive but damaged foe, or slowly chip shields, hull, and tokens from a ship that is otherwise avoiding harm thanks to its defenses. The relatively low cost of a Y-Wing and its good overall health make it a decent way to deploy a TLT, though its tricks are somewhat limited by a poor dial.

Autoblaster Turret works really well on Captain Nym with VI, allowing him to move last and barrel roll into position for some brutal ace-stomping. Y-Wings lack the mobility, PS, and reposition actions that would help them make the best use of it, though depending on your enemy they can do well.

IMO, quite often the best salvaged astromech is Unhinged, as it's dirt-cheap and opens up their dial quite a bit. However, they have a nice selection e.g. R5-P8 to scare foes off of attacking you too trivially. R4-B11 is interesting on Drea Renthal for a self-stress build.

Y-Wings can also be decent for torpedoes. Their base cost is 18 points, 24 with Proton Torpedoes + Extra Munitions + Guidance Chips (the cost of the most basic Scurrg with no upgrades). For only two more points you could toss on an autoblaster for range 1 protection (26), or go for the full TLT at 6 points (30), or leave the turret off (depends on where else you need the points).

I hope that helps!
