Did any Ford Diesel, older Ford Diesel's in particular, have a blowoff valve or electronically controlled wastegate from the factory?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

The answer would be "no", right?

 

IIRC no is the answer. i believe that dodge had an actual electronically controlled wastegate and the powerstrokes had the VGT or VNT that was electronically controlled, so not really a wastegate...... and i've never seen on a diesel a factory BOV.... gassers yes diesel no....

 

yes i think the answer is no, never heard of one being on a ford OEM

 

The wastegate on the 7.3 is electronically controlled but boost actuate. A electric signal opens a small orifice to bleed pressure to a canister that then opens the wastegate.

So the awnser is yes.

 

thats not a blowoff valve though,

 

Correct, but he also asked about a wastegate...

 

If you're referring to the OBS, the answer is no. The same goes for the newer 7.3 vans. Just don't confuse the EBPV for a wastegate. It's that oil operated valve on the back of the exhaust housing. That just helps the engine warm up in cold weather.
