Location of EBPV plug on 2000 PSD

I am trying to wire up an exhaust brake on my F250 Ford (auto tran) and am not sure I have located the 2 plug wire that controls the exhaust back pressure valve on my truck. I believe it is located at the base of the turbo pedestal facing forward. The color of one wire is grey w/red stripe the other is red w/yellow stripe.
Are these the correct colors for my 2000?
Thanks for your help.

that should be it. it's the only plug on the front of the turbo pedestal right under the turbo. I actually unplugged mine last night.

Its the only one in that neighborhood- center of the motor on the front of the turbo with 2 wires. Me thinks you got it.

Thanks for your input. Dumb me - what I thought was the pedestal was actually the base of the Y on the pressure side of the turbo not the actual base of the turbo. Thanks to the photo that Action 4478 provided I see where the actual turbo pedestal is.
You mention that you pulled the plug off on your truck but it appears to me that in order to splice into those plug wires I would have to take the inner cooler hoses off as well as those that feed the engine and then actually remove the Aluminum Y plenum from the turbo outlet. Am I seeing that correctly? If this is the case I am not sure this engine brake is worth it.
And again many many thanks for all your help.

If you don't want wire a switch in for that and a torque converter lockup I would suggest calling Jody at dptuner. You can get an awesome chip for performance and a program with the same function as exhaust brake. All you would have to do (once chip is installed) is hit a button.
