that looks right, but why bother fix the ebpv deleting it is the best thing i ever did.

[lakailimited06]

i heard about that, didnt really look into it..doesnt that have something to do with the truck warming up in the winter? it gets cold here how would that work out if i got rid of it?

[lakailimited06]

im also confused because that site sells 3 different kits...one kit has just the 2 upper and 2 lower o rings...one kit is the (turbo reintall kit) Replacement O-rings for Ford Diesel Engines, and then they also sell the kit i posted earlier...

[Dietoremain]

well each upper and lower are two of a different size.. if that makes sense one big one lil for the top and bottom.. they are the same though..

Anyway think about how many diesel motors are out there that warm up without a stupid ebpv.. honestly many many have deleted them and had no issues warming up. Yeah it may not warm up as perfectly fast in an extreme cold but its not going to affect the motors reliability and it gets rid of a possible oil leak and an exhaust restriction. my straight pipe sounds wayyy nicer with that pos gone.

If you delete the EBPV system, how do you get rid of the ECU warning light related to it? Custom program that stops checking the EBP system?

no CEL, it does throw a soft code though but thats easy.. 99-03 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke Exhaust Backpressure Valve Terminator

I have to buy one eventually to pass 'smog' here its dumb lol.

im gonna keep the EBPV so in my case i guess i just need the turbo remounting kit Replacement O-rings for Ford Diesel Engines

comes with the 3 orings for the EBPV which im guessing are what go when it leaks...
