Can I buy a pedestal with ebpv already removed? Looks like i'm going to be doing o-rings and I'd like to eliminate this potential leak while i'm in there.

 

I know they are sold probably Clay at RiffRaff, but someone will chime in soon with a link for you.

 

Clay can get you one for around a 120 Brandon hurry up and get it drop ship it and come pu to neals saturday and we'll put it on

 

Why not just plug yours and save $100-$120 and spend it on a performance mod? Just do this .

All you need to do is gut it and tap it and put a NPT tap plug in it.

 

That is what we did to mine at RRE. Barney and I noticed that it was leaking and at the last minute decided to delete it and thanks to Phil for running out and grabbing the plug for me.

 

Yea Jim I was there. It works great for a cheap fix.

Here ya go brandon

 

I would use the NPT plug its a tapered plug to make sure it seals off good.

 

That looks easy. Anyone know what size tap he used? How hard is it to remove the turbo and pedestal?

 

Not sure what size he used but. Most use a 1/4 NPT tap and plug see the pic above you can see the tap and to the right you can see the plug. Removing the turbo and pedestal is not hard. Just take your time read up on it before you begin there are a few tricks that makes it easier the clamp to the down pipe is a pita after you do it a couple times its easy.

 

Yes you were. You should have stayed for the party at Ricks. We called it quits at 5 am.

I can't remember if it was 1/8" or 1/4" it is really easy to remove the turbo and pedistal a few bolts, the spider the clamp off the babys butt and the dwon pipe clamp and your golden.

I did for a while the wife called from the room at 1:00am so thats when I bugged out.

 

It's a 1/4" NPT tap & plug. You don't even have to drill the hole out -- it's already the right size for tapping. 1/8" NPT is for the pyro sensor adapter...

EDIT: And if you're going to use a standard 1/4" NPT pipe plug, don't run the tap all the way through like he did. Try test fitting the plug when you get about half way into the hole with the tap. If you go too far, the plug won't get tight.

 

Yep Sorry about that Joe is correct 1/4 NPT and Plug
