I was taking my turbo out and apparently broke a plug that sits in the front of the turbo pedastal.

Has a bunch of copper inside it.

What is this called? what does it do? And does RiffRaff have them?

Thanks

 

think thats the ebpv plug

 

I cant seem to catch a break...this truck is taking forver to fix...working on it 6 evenings out of 7 unless I'm waiting on parts......not to mention the money.

Sorry in a bad mood.

Thanks for the info.

 

Lol. I know the feeling bro. Don't give up on it

 

Can you snap (no pun intended) a pic? Might not be as bab as you think!

 

I probably have a used one if you need one.

 

This is it right?

 

Thanks Clay I'll let you know...might have another order coming your way regardless...Might decide to go with the EBPV delete.

Picture is on the way.

FYI these up-pipes make me wanna take a sawzaw to them and order the bellowed ones from Clay....lol If only money would allow.

 

Yep thats it! Except without the white plug on top and with some copper showing now....LOL

 

That is the Exhaust Back Pressure Solenoid. If it is not cold where you live, just leave it un-plugged. They run about $225 new.

By the way, you are not the only one: See This Post

 

heres a picture of it. incase you still wanted to see it.

Also, if I do the DELETE on this, if it gets down to 15degrees in the winter, like it does 1 week or so out of the year, if I dont get my truck plugged in will I be screwed and it not start??

 

Sean, I've not had an EBPV on any of the 7.3's I've owned here just North of you, the EBPV does not aid with starting only with warm up after started.

 

ok so should I get the delete pedastal or just leave it unplugged and go, in your opinion. Thanks for the info....again LOL

 

Either way, really, leave it unplugged and if you decide at some point you want the EBPV you could replace the solenoid. If you think you will never want it, delete the actuator and valve in the outlet.

 

Alright, good deal.Thanks again.
