Im removing my ebpv from the ol stroker in the near future, due to the fact its pukeing oil. I have ordered a non-ebpv pedistal from Beans Diesel..

my questions:
1: do i need to remove the ebpv housing from the turbo to gut the valve and shaft?
2: is there 1 or 2 holes left in the housing when i remove the shaft that need plugged, and wich method works best to plug them, 20mm freeze plugs or taping the hole to accept a 1/2npt pipe plug?

 

bump... i know some of you have done this, all threds and stuff iv found are pretty vague and dont have any real good pics that show anything.

 

I think they make a high flow outlet that you could use to remove the valve itself...

Here is the link..Riffraff Diesel: Garrett High Flow Outlet

RiffRaff is a sponsor here so if you have any questions about that part, you could post up in their section...

 

I welded mine up all those years ago... I still have one gutted on the shelf at home.

 

what is the benifit to removing the ebpv? it is the exaust back pressure valve you are talking about, right?

 

It's a great place for a pesky leak, therefore many people get rid of it.

And yes, EBPV = Exhaust Back Pressure Valve
