EBP sensor and how does it affect you
We all have one, opinion that is. Lets us know what your is on the EBP sensor and how it affect your 7.3.
I have a stick shift, dont matter if plugged in or not for me.

When I converted to a more expensive hpop reservoir, I did the SD ebv tube and sensor that sits on the hpop bolt cover. Other then making the wallet lighter, had no perceived effect.
Looks nicer I guess.

I posted earlier, according to my 1996 Ford Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual, it provides input to the PCM for exhaust backpressure valve position. That is all it says, it does nothing else, no input to fueling or auto trans shifting. If you have deleted the backpressure valve, there is no reason to keep the sensor in working condition.
Oil temp is another input to the PCM for exhaust backpressure valve position. After deleting my ebpv I didn't notice any difference at all in warm up time or anything else, it's a mystery to me why Ford insisted on keeping the ebpv for so many years. Kind of like the twin traction beam front axle, it was troublesome, a lot of guys hate it and don't understand why Ford kept it for so long. My guess is that it was a brainchild of a senior Ford engineer who became a manager and he over ruled attempts to get rid of it. Maybe the same for the ebpv.

I actually just installed a glowshift back pressure gauge in my 97. I think it’s a handy tool for figuring out turbo efficiencies and making sure those of us with modified pickups aren’t putting our valve train in jeopardy from super high back pressures. I will say on this brand new stage 3 kc… 1:1 boost/ebp up to 30 psi. At 35-36 psi boost I am around 45 ebp… which should be fine. I don’t have head studs or upgraded springs or pushrods on this one so I want to try to protect it as much as i can.
