Hey thanks guys the pics are really great. I realized I don't have the tools to do all that here so I bought the kit that just happened to come available. And installed it. But now I have no power. Could I have missed something ?

Is the actuator rod connected to the EBPV lever pin?

You have probably pulled the EBPV shut. Turn it the other way and wire it and see if you get the power back.

Yes I was just doing that I realized by reading here it had to be all the way open at 10 pounds the dealer tech said 10 pounds just to start opening it. Lol youguys were right again. But funny thing I don't hear my turbo whine and never really have also at high RPM I got blueish smoke ??? I had that before too I don't think it has ever been right

Sorry to bring up an old post but I have questions. I am looking to do the ebpv gut but I thought the plug everyone was talking about was more then whats pictured above. I want to plug the oil port to the actuator reservoir so I could leave the solenoid plugged in but it wouldn't do anything but keep the computer happy.
Any info out there on something like this, or does everyone just do what is pictured?

That would bug me seeing that plug just dangling around with a resistor hanging out.

Should have just gone with a blank pedestal then. You could cut the wires inside the loom, install resistor, heat shrink the wires to the wires with the resistor to get the look and no function?

Yes I would normally spring for the non-ebpv pedestal and housing but money just won't allow it right now. Something about kids having to eat and whatnot the wife tells me. IDK, just can't talk any sense into her.

today I am gonna tear the pedestal down and see what I see. If I can find a better place to plug the oil feed to the cavity I will post up a thread on it. If not I will just act like nothing ever happened.

A machinist could fab a tube, or plug, that would press inside the pedestal bore and block the ports. There are also plugs on the outside of the pedestal for the passages that were machined leading to these ports. It may be possible to block those passages through these accesses to the ports in the bore.
