Ok so I have a full EGR and DPF delete, with Spartan tuner set at +125hp
When I did it I moved the block plate and ebp sensor all the way up behind the turbo like others have done, completely removing all the pipe going to the old egr cooler.
My problem seems to be that im getting to much pressure at the sensor now, or im somehow damaging the sensor.
If I put a brand new ebp sensor in, the truck will run great for about two weeks, during which I will never see psi readings over 57psi even when getting into the throttle aggressively.
After about two weeks however, I will start seeing psi readings jumping up as high as 70+psi. When this happens it causes my turbo to start doing some crazy stuff...squealing and chirping and erratic boost.
Anybody else having these kinds of issues?
How about your top psi readings? What are you hitting?
How cold has it been where you live? Just for an easy try, bend the tube so the sensor sits up higher than the tube itself. Moisture can freeze in there and cause problems and if the tube is higher than the sensor it can keep happening.
thanks for the thought on the cold, I made sure the sensor is at the highest point, but I have been having this problem for about six months, so well back into last summer when it was warm. I keep trying different things, all with no success. I have purchased 3 new sensors thinking that perhaps I got a bad one, but have the same results every time.
Can any of you tell me what kind of psi readings your getting on your ebp sensor? I am wondering if maybe those high psi readings in the 60-70 range aren't abnormal and there might actually be a problem with my turbo instead???
What tune/tunes are you running. At wot 60-70 is not abnormal but if it's running that high with normal driving you have and issue. Nevermind, went back and re-read your original post. On a 125 tune you shouldn't see EBP that high. I don't have a clue why it keeps eating sensors tho.
I don't think I've seen much more than 50 but I don't monitor back pressure on my mini max routinely.
Sounds like maybe a bad turbo, sticking vanes, or the VGT controller could be causing your issue. EBP sensors might be good and the it's VGT going nuts while driving and creating high BP. Neither turbo should squeal or chirp.
Like to here what EBP others without the deletes are reading on their monitors. You may have another problem , I started monitoring my EBP after do the deletes and I'm also getting high readings.
It will idle at 3psi and cruise at 18psi but if you hit the throttle 60psi is easy to reach.
im sorry I know this is a late reply/post and I came here for little help myself I'm new to the powerstroke I have a 2009 f250 6.4 and when eng off I'm getting 50 psi to my ebp sensor reading and driving if I get on it the high is 120 not tuned can I please get some help here
