EBPV Delete ?
Mine is leaking and i'm thinking about just deleting it. My question is for those of you that have deleted it do you have any regrets? Do you have any issues with the heater taking longer to warm up in the winter? It does get down to single digit temps here at night some winters. The only reason I have not deleted mine yet is I thought I may use the decel feature when I get my tuner but now i'm up in the air on that.

Keeping the EBPV and rebuilding the pedestal for an exhaust brake would be a main reason in the "for" category. I chose the "against" as it was my only leak at the time and I live in the South. I changed out both the valve and the pedestal to the non-EBP version and never looked back. My current turbine housing doesn't allow me to reinstall one anyway. You can either gut both the valve and pedestal, or go the route I did. I think you wouldn't miss them, if you decided "against".

That is exactly the route I am looking at taking Roland if I delete it. I was looking at a non EBPV outlet and pedestal to delete it rather than modifying mine to delete it. I plan on getting the 38r turbo eventually and they would bolt right on it also.

I deleted the EBPV and went with a blank pedestal on mine and let me tell you that Turbo spools with some authority now! Little to no lag and it sings a sweet Siren Song to me all the louder....
In the Econo tune from Gearhead, the truck scares even me with how much power it has now. I don't DARE switch to Matt's "Street Muscle" or "All Out" tune.

Thought about it myself, but decided not to given the cost of it and the exhaust.

It basically does the same thing the Garrett HFO and blank pedestal does, just cheaper....
