Leak at EBPV???

Bad picture so I apologize guys. It seems I have sprung a SLOW leak at my turbo pedestal at the EBPV and am wondering what I can do? Any easy fix? Or am I looking at a delete? Thanks again.

You can delete it or rebuild. I found a deleted pedestal for 100 on ebay. The rebuild kits go for a bit more.

Getting this out can be a challenge if you never done it before. Plenty of threads on how to take out. Get some PBlaster or use atf and acetone mix on all bolts soak for a few days to let it help with bolt removal.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet! I'll probably do a delete instead of rebuild. Can I unplug it interim? Would that even make a difference?

Yes you can unplug the electrical plug to it.


this person can take out his turbo in an hour, for some it can take days depending on the bolts and rust.
He also has a nice pic of the tools and the platform he made to work on it.

Yeah, last time mine was quick coming out. This most recent time took forever.

Plan for the worst (broken bolts, etc) hope for the best. Lol

If choosing to rebuild, the issue will eventually happen again. That area of the turbo pedestal is prone to leaks..

I deleted mine personally. I modified my stock pedestal for the delete, but if I were to do it again, I would just purchased the Non-EBPV pedestal.

Also, if you delete it and disconnect the EBPV solenoid, you will throw a soft code. Just leave the solenoid connected and do the delete.

I'd delete mine too, but the EBPV is much too valuable as an exhaust brake in the mountains.

I don't know why Ford missed the opportunity to have the first exhaust brake on the domestic pickup market way back in 95 when it was just sitting there as a relatively useless warm-up valve on top of the 7.3 engine the whole time.
