EBPV delete question
I read when removing the butterfly (when you grind out the top)and put in the 3/4 inch freeze plug,what do I use to hold it in place? I thought I read to use red loctite? Thats only good to 300 degrees right?Can someone tell me what to use.. I havent done it yet but getting stuff I need..Thanks

I went to every napa around here and none had freeze plugs.. Went to a maching shop and got a freeze plug but said he never heard of one with a cclip....How hot are gases on exhaust side, my pyro shows up to 1200 on pre turbo tapped in manifold..

Is the freeze plug basically a compression fitting, meaning nothing is needed to lock in place?What about adding some jb weld to it before I tap it in.. I dont want it blowing out after 2 miles of driving...what are the exhaust temps?Post turbo?

The c clip is on the housing already from where you removed the rod. I just put some jb weld in there, and really caked it in there. It has held up fine for over 1000 miles.

one option is just remove the old EBPV housing from the turbo and add one of these on:
Riffraff Diesel: Garrett High Flow Outlet.
don't forget to put a 470 ohm resistor in the harness to keep the engine code (soft) from showing up and possibly causing it to defuel. $1 at radio shack.

I put the Garrett High flow outlet on my Excursion last week along with the Non-EBPV pedestal and rebuilt the turbo (got all the parts from Clay at Riffraff). The only seal I replaced was the one on the compressor housing. Check with Clay just to make 100% sure.
