EBPV help needed - soon!
I removed my turbo and pedestal to change orings and fix oil leak. As it turns out, my ebpv actuator in the pedestal is leaking. Called Ford and they don't have the repair kit but at 180 bucks (completely rediculous + I was able to look up the part number on the web before the idiot at Ford could even understand what I needed, ended up providing him with the part #), I don't want it anyway. I live in Houston and don't think I need the ebpv. Now the questions:
1. If I understand the operation correctly, the oil would not actuate the ebpv (and leak out the end) if I simply unplug the electrical lead to the servo in the pedestal. Right?
2. Any harm in leaving the solenoid unplugged?
3. Do I just wire the ebpv open or completely remove it from the turbo?
Thanks for any help or advice!

Well Steve, while we wait, and there is some disagreement, it seems the trend now is that disabling the EBPV is a bad idea although I am entirely muddy about what role this plays in the PCM program for running the engine.
I wish there was a solid answer on this. As for the leak, I would either repair it or delete the EBPV function and make sure I plugged it so oil could feed the turbo. I have done neither and will await someone who has. Have you tried to source new seals elsewhere?

I think if we could get Jody in on this one we'd have the details we need. The question then becomes, is DP Tuner watching this thread? Or has someone addressed this issue with them in sufficient detail that they could share with us?

Depending on what is leaking, you might be able to fix it with the kit. In my case, it was the pedestal that was leaking so even when I put the kit in, it didn't work and still leaked. I got another pedestal and it leaked again. Finally the next pedestal fixed it. Talked to a woman who said she had to replace 3 pedestals before they found one that didn't leak.
