I mean i inhooked the pcm from the EBPV and wired it to a toggle switch, like everyone says i could, and when i sent power to the EBPV it would close, this way i had control over the EBPV,

does anybody know where i can buy a new EBPV ive searched ebay and also googled it and i cant find a thing!! any help guys??

The valve itself is located in the turbine outlet housing.

The actuator is located in the turbocharger pedestal.

What part is bad?

i have no clue,,, how can i find out? i send power to it and it doesnt close, (well no change in exhaust sound like everyone says) i dont hear a click like a solenoid like ive been told i should hear,

Disconnect the rod from the EBPV. It's the one under the turbine housing.

See if you can freely move the valve by hand while the engine is running. See if the exhaust tone changes. If that part works, you either have an internal leak in the actuator or you have an open circuit in the solenoid itself. Do a resistance check on the solenoid.

so i could undo the rod and move the valve from the top of the motor? and how would i do a resistance check on the solenoid, and where is the solenoid is that where the wires plug into the valve?

OK. Are you sure you got the one on the ped? There is alos a grey/red wire in the y spider you didnt splice that one did you

yes the plug i spliced is on the ped below the turbo
