I would have to agree, don't know exactly what differance it makes, otherwise. But if its from banks expect to pay big$$$$ for not a lot of performance gain.

Yes, Rogye hit it on the head. It deletes the EPBV and actually is a cast piece that eliminates the first bend out of the downpipe if you know what i am talking about. Its a piece that connects to the turbine housing, goes down and rearward, so that you have to use a "special" (read $$) downpipe from Banks. Snake oil if you ask me.

What a way for Banks to trick you into buying more junk from them

The TN HFO does the same thing, costs alot less, and you can use any downpipe, stock or aftermarket.

Turbonetics High Flow Outlet.

It replaces the bolt-on flange outlet that our stock (and stock-style)turbochargers have with a higher-flowing, exhaust back pressure valve deleted housing that has a larger (by about .400") outlet on it. Oh, and it also routes the wastegated exhaust slightly differently too so the flow isn't as disrupted.

I got one for my Nutbuster and there is a very measurable difference in the outlet size. I believe it is 2.8??" vs. 3.2??"

Correct. I got mine from black widow diesel, and at the same time, i got my non ebpv pedistal, orings etc.
