+1 for the exhaust manifold! Why swap pedistols when you can remove the enternals and plug the hole?

 

[CHUCK]

Man, you can remove the acuator pretty easy....let me find the link. Yea, temps can be 100* off post turbo.

well, I cant bring up the video. On the back of the acuator houseing, remove the snap ring and plate...remove the acuator and rod...tap the acuator rod hole for a bolt...I but a nut and washer on the bolt just in case it wanted to back out...reinstall plate and snap ring.

heres another thread about it

Ok, no go with the pics...sorry. Reomve the snap ring, tap on the acuator rod so it will knock the plug out of the housing. Install a bolt to plug the acuator rod hole, reinstall plug and snap ring. I did leave the solinoid in the pedistol,but its unplugged.

The only advantage to buying a non evbp pedistol, it may be easier to acess the back bolts holding it down in the valley.

If you can find/use brass nuts on the turbo/exhaust flange...wont be near as difficult to break loose next time.

I am a member, and it wont let me log in either. Shoot me your cell, and I'll try to shoot you the pics.

I wouldnt have sealed any passages...the turbo has to have oil......

 

[CHUCK]

I never researched which oil port was for what......Cool, hope nothing leaks.....

Now that I saw yours, I may just cut the acuator housing off of my xtra pedistol

 

[CHUCK]

I cant recall what size it is....I took the EBPV housing to Orileys and started sizing plugs.
