EBPV Question
OK, first off...Great site!!! I've picked up alot of info, and many questions answered. My wife doesn't think so though...All I get to hear is "Whats this Paypal for 500. Who is this tymar???? Black cloud diesel what??? Anyway...Time for a new mod...I need to pull my turbo to change the o rings and install my wicked wheel(just had to have it) Should I deactivate the EBPV at the same time. I live in MD, so its cold but not that bad. I have gauges, boost and egt, and rarely do I accelerate above 2000 rpm. OBTW its a 99 (late) six speed with 285,000 miles. Hence the reason I baby it. Will I do any damage by ridding myself of this power robbing device. Thanks in advance.. Duncan

No. keep it. i live in the suburbs out west of westminster, just NW of you.
i like my EBPV, but i like looking at people's expressions when it kicks on. like s jet that is taking off.
BTW if you need help installing it, i am free on the weekends and i will install it for you, i did my wicked wheel and o-rings, and have became very proficient at it. plus a large heated shop to do it in.
they do make a whole exhaust housing that deletes it, and a turbo pedestal with a arm-delete for the EBPV. if you dont want it, just unplug the connector with the hinge clip, and it will default to open. leave it in there, that way you can use it as a brake if you prefer in the future.

My sister and family live out by the farm museum in Westminster. I guess I just trying to save a little fuel. I was getting about 20 MPG during the summer, just filled up yesterday down to 16.7. I'm kinda kicking myself for not fixing this when the temps were warm, I still have to fix the left spindle bearing, makes an awful noise in 4wd. Thanks for offer on the shop, I'll let you know!Duncan

I don't know if it would increase fuel mileage. With the engine running colder longer, it may also run enriched longer. With our winter time temps, I think it does more good than harm.

If you really get bored you could always put a toggle switch in and disable the EBPV when ever you want. Just cut the ground lead on the connector extend both ends to the inside of the cab and connect them to a toggle. Works great lasts long time.
