So before I get an adapter to get rid of the ebpv on this turbo I would like to know exactly what it does and what are the benifits towards having or not having it.

Having it aids in cold warm up and can be used as an exhaust break. Not having it increases flow for better power. Either way you will buy the adapter or you will modify an ebpv to connect to the down pipe.

i am having several EBPV delete flanges made, such as DI sells for very cheap. my Diesel1 teacher has a machinist friend who owes him a favor, and he said that he would do them for the price of the material.

let me know if youre going to be interested in them, you can pick one up now and let it sit until youre ready to do it. im returning my DI one and getting my $$ back.

Twins would add way more than 50 hp, right? Assuming you've got the fuel?

50 hp over the van turbo, and fit into the stock turbo class. My anticipation is getting even bigger!! I've got April 21st marked on the calendar.

This basic turbo is available now . What I'm getting will be, shall we say peeked & tuned . I hope it's the best thing since sliced bread . I was told it will out do a BB and is good to 500 hp If I've got everything to support it .

I'm looking for 50 with better flow, less back pressure.

50 pounds!! Do you already have or are you putting head studs in?
Less backpressure than the van turbo? :eek Didn't you test the van turbo to have a 1:1 drive to boost pressure ratio up to 39 psi? That ratio go up past that point? You new turbo's going to have a positve Delta-P. That's awesome!!

Studs and turbo on the way. The van turbo was 1:1 up to 33 lbs and climbed fast after that. At 39 it was 52, not extreme but high. Still a great turbo for a truck with medium mods, 400hp is no problem. I found a few things with programing today that would have put it over that number on the Dyno Jet. Quicker spool for the light rollers.

Mech,

Have you ever seriously screwed something up in your truck while doing some of the pulls?
