Ebpv delete

[kclough]

Hey guys I've seen these ebpv delete kits where you put in a "power elbow" any suggestions if I should or shouldn't do this. My ebpv is leaking and was searching for rebuild kits and I've seen this is a popular mod. Thanks

You basically don't need it.
You can either delete it yourself or by a non EBPV pedestal and outlet if you feel like just replacing them.

Would I gain anything by deleting it? How difficult is it to delete

There's some threads about this already. More about what it does and if it's needed.
You might lose some backpressure, which is a plus. And eliminate a possible oil leak. Basically it.

Alright thank you I'll do some searching for the threads

With less BP comes less EGTs, usually.

What all would I need if i bought a ebpv delete pedestal and turbo o-rings. Will this pedestal deliver the oil to the turbo or does something else need to be added.

The pedestal has all the internals needed, just no EBPV actuating rod or passage.

Garrett Turbo Pedestal NON-EBPV 1999.5 - 2003
Garrett High Flow Non-EBPV Exhaust Outlet

So basically bolting the new pedestal and existing turbo back on and I'm good to nothing extra needs to be done
