Ebpv Delete Or Not
wondering what the benefits are of removing the EBPV?? Read some articles saying that removing will make turbo flow much better, but not sure. Also just found out that u can make an exhaust brake with EBPV in conjunction with a tune and TC lockup. Any thoughts? Thanks. Rob.

It is suppose to help the coolant warm up faster. If you live somewhere cold this might be nice to have. I don't know what the TC lock-up you are referring to. The only thing that comes to mind is Torque Converter. If you want to disable it you can unplug the sensor. This sets a check engine light on some years but on my 2000 just a soft code.

Well, I deleted mine and don't notice any difference in warmup times. I think the extra flow is more important than some small amount of warmup time gains that I haven't noticed. Here's what the stock outlet looks like:
And here's what my van turbo's outlet looks like sans EBPV:

Joe do you have Brandon's turbo rebuild pulled up on the computer while you was doing this 
. Good pictures, I personally think I am going to keep my EBPV unless I do a van turbo just for the fact I like it as an exhaust brake with my decel tune.

I had a seal leaking on me EBPV so I did the delete and threw out the old one. Now I wish I had kept it to rebuild and possibly reinstall so I could get the decel tune when I am ready to purchase a DP. Dang it!

That is true. Stupid thing is I hung on to it for months then made the hasty decision instead of just stashing it away. I will deal with it when I get the DP. No time soon though. Need to do the supporting mods first. lol

) that I used to call him when I almost lost a part..... 
Found it though.You can always get one to put in the exhaust further down stream. I forget who it is that makes those, but it's pretty cool. I think it's clever of Jody to come up with that, but I think I'd rather have a dedicated button someplace else for that function and an opened up turbo. The aftermarket one isn't nearly the restriction the EBPV is. But either way, I don't tow a whole lot so I don't need the functionality, and I don't idle my truck to warm it up. And on top of that, I don't plan on living where I need to!! I'll be carting my butt back to a a warm climate (FL) soon.

Your moving Joe or just going down there for work. Pac Brake, Banks, and BD-Power make after market exhaust brakes. Go with the banks though look how much it slow down by those Graphs! Banks surely couldn't put out false advertising :-p.
