Glad you were able to find it. Even when you upgrade to a 4" downpipe, the flange that meets up to the turbo is the same size. And the flange on the trucks is bigger than the flange on the van turbos. It's the different size flange that requires the adapter. You might also check with Beans about the adapter. I've not seen one in person, but I've been told by a few guys who have that Bean's is a better quality one than the DI. But, I have seen the DI and thought it was a pretty solid piece.

Kris nailed it on what you have to do with the EBPV if you go with the adapter that eliminates it. Either get rid of the rod or get yourself a new pedistal. I did something a little different however. I had the EBPV for the van turbo modified to fit the truck downpipe. I had the flange cut off both the truck and van EBPV, then had the truck flange welded onto the van EBPV. The fit was perfect, and cost was nearly identical to what the adapter costs. See my Modified EBPV gallery for some pics of it.

There's a couple reasons I chose to keep it. One, it still get's deep into the teens and single digits during the wintertime here in MO. I wanted to be able to use the EBPV for warmup in the winter, as it's on a manual control switch I wired up. Two, I do a lot of trailer towing and I sometimes use the EBPV as an exhaust brake. Although I don't use it often, I wanted to have the option to use it if I wish.

So, there are a couple of options you can go with. Either one will work, it all just depends on your personal preference.

And as far as 1.0 vs 1.15, I'm with Kris in that I'd go with the 1.15 again. There is some lag, but it's not that bad, and knowing that I've greatly reduced backpressure making things easier on the engine sits really well with me.

 

1- if it bolt on how come we all arent doin it?
2- how much are the adapters, and more importantly does someone make a kit?
3- oops how much is a van turbo (i think i might have answered question 1 just now)

4-what is ebpv and do i want it deleted?lol

 

1) No idea? Perhaps cost or don't want to mess with it. Different strokes for different folks.

2) I think around $100. Bean's has something put together for you with a van turbo and the adapter.

3) Depends on where you get them and what condition they are in. New/reman ones I believe are around $600-700. You can get used ones on eBay, which I've seen range is price from $80 - $400. But, if you plan on going that route, you'll want to get a rebuild kit as well, typically around $100, since you have no clue what condition the internal part of the turbo is in.

4) EBPV = Exhaust Back Pressure Valve. Ford put it in there to help with warmup of the truck in cold weather. It closes off most of the exhaust flow when activated, thus loading the motor and creating more heat. Although it's not much of a restriction when it's open, it's still a restriction in the exhaust. Do you want it deleted.....that's completely up to you. I kept mine, Kris deleted his. Personal thing.

so let me get this straight you are running van turbo and did not "have to" delete the EBPV and can still use your exhaust brake...........THATS AWESOME.
to me that's one major draw back to the van turbo or 1.15 with adapter

to make it work i have a few questions. it the flange you cut off part of the truck turbo (making it useless to sell to compensate for the price of the van turbo?)

I'd hate to destroy a good truck turbo to make the van turbo work (i guess i could buy a busted one or a core to hack off )
Thanks

sorry double posted and can't figure out how to delete it

 

Correct, you do not have to delete the EBPV to make the van turbo work. But, no one sells an EBPV that is a direct bolt on. I wrote a thread about it when I did my turbo earlier this year. But, the flange I cut off did come from the EBPV that was on the truck turbo, rather than part of the turbo itself. I found a good TIG welder here locally to do the work of cutting the flanges off and welding the bigger one onto the van EBPV. Did you check out my gallery? There's several good pics of the modified EBPV in there.
