went by way too fast vs went by too fast

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'Went by way too fast' emphasizes that something happened much too quickly, while 'went by too fast' simply indicates that it happened too quickly. The addition of 'way' in the first phrase intensifies the speed of the action and shows the speaker's opinion.
