Is The Jury still out on this EBPV delete?
So,having searched the archives for quite awhile It seems questionable whether to remove the ebp tube and plug it as well as installing the Riff Raff isolator pigtail or leave those items in the program to send the p c m the info.
I am installing the EBPV delete pedestal under my new 38r with the R R high flow outlet- the valve

If you are deleting the EBPV from the pedestal you will want to put the isolator plug on the harness, it will go where the harness used to plug into the pedestal. As for the EBP tube, the one that attaches to the passenger side manifold and runs to the front of the engine where the EBP sensor connects to it, you do not want to remove and plug that.
Or from all my reading on the forum thats what I have gleaned.
Does it ever give a reason for removing the EBP tube? I personally can't think of any reason why someone would want to get rid of it. The EBPV on the other hand, I completely understand.

That makes sense about the keeping it clean part, but I have also read a lot of information regarding keeping it clean, so the sensor can read properly for fueling, as you mentioned. I can not give you a 100% definitive answer on whether or not to get rid of it, but I am pretty sure that the sensor is used for fueling/tuning purposes and I don't think getting rid of it would really help anything.

The EBP sensor is used for tuning purposes, and it is unclear how important it is (one of the secrets of the PCM not cracked yet) - but shifts will get weird without it for sure.
*EDIT* I think I had a conversation on this with a friend some time back, and I may be in error here. Need coffee.

Frank and Tim, that is interesting to hear. The sensor does not seem to make a difference whether its unplugged or not...Does anyone know if there was something on the truck that absolutely used the EBP sensor, or was it just installed to watch EBP when the EBPV was being used, along with an "attempt" at an added parameter to make the engine run better/more efficiently?
I have noticed my EBP sensor tends to be off compared to baro and boost, but from what Tim and Frank are saying, it almost doesn't seem worth replacing it just because its reading high....

And THAT is the reason I am asking ..to repair and even upgrade with the least amount of conflicts ….No one wants to spend money to end up spending more….or do we?

I can tell you through tuning what the backpressure sensor doesn't do......but to all the copycats out there....sorry, that's for me to know and you to keep guessing.

The backpressure sensor is the "feedback" to the PCM that verifies that the command the PCM gave to the backpressure valve actuator actually took place.

Could you tell me relatively how important having a correctly reading EBP sensor is to the truck as far as fueling goes? When I had AE going the other day it was about 1.5 psi higher (don't remember the exact value) than the BARO and Manifold pressure sensors. In your opinion, with your tuning knowledge, is this enough to significantly change the fueling/tuning (I'm not sure of how to correctly phrase that)? For example, I have been noticing that my mileage seems to be lower than normal for this time of year/these driving conditions (cold weather, #1 fuel), does the EBP sensor have enough of an "effect" on fueling/tuning to cause something like this?
To the OP, sorry if I am hijacking your thread, but this seemed like a great opportunity to ask these questions since Cody joined in.
Thanks,

When my ebp went bad my mpg dropped to 14 new ebp sensor and back to 16 my ebpv is gutted and sealed to stop the oil leak. So maybe how it's turned may affect it at the time I had super chip I have not unplugged it now that I'm running bts tunnes.
My ex stock was running bad when I bought it pulled codes for ebp sensor new one and runs smoothly did not drive it enough to see if the mpg where down.
So my vote is leave the sensor it appears to help plus I doubt ford put it there for nothing.
