Turbo pedestal....
I had a oil leak coming from the top rear, so I pulled my turbo and pedestal out. It is leaking out of the rod coming out the side. I kno this means I need a pedestal, does this mean it is a ebv or non-ebv?
I looked at my turbo wheel and the edges are a little tore up, so I'm ordering a wicked wheel.
While I have the turbo out is there anything else I should check/replace while she is tore apart? Thanks in advance!

If you still have the rod that is stock and no one has messed with it. You can get a non ebpv pedistal or gut the one you have. Then get rid of the flap on the outlet of the turbo. If you plan on using it as an exhaust break then get the rebuild kit From Riffraff or DieselOrings I think also has it. If the sides of the bore are scorned you could still have a leak after rebuilding it. If you want to gut it I can give you a couple of links to help.

I just decided to order a non-ebv pedestal ($149.00) and a wicked wheel ($89.00). And also went ahead took the exhaust flap out of the turbo. Had to order a 20mm freeze plug @ orilleys.
Now just waiting on parts!

Just another train of thought, not trying to sway your decision; but you could take the money you'd spend on a WW and pedestal and put it toward a ATS ported compressor housing. Then you'll be all set if you add a tuner of some sort. And if you're not going to add a tuner (or maybe you have one that's not in your sig) then going with a WW would sort of be step backwards.

Whether a WW is less efficient than the stock wheel is beyond my pedigree and is arguable. I chose to keep the stock wheel and go with an ATS housing so I knew any surge would be completely eliminated and I wouldn't lose any efficiency.

Oh ok I understand what your saying now.. Well my stock wheel looked a little rough, so I decided to replace. Not with anything to do with a surge. I am just doing it to do it. Lol thanks for your opinion!

I see what Keith is saying and now his point is even more evident and now we know your adding some potent tunes to the mix it might be in your best interest to go with the ported housing. Its all personal choice or what your wallet dictates.
