Upgrades and Aftermarket - 7.3L EngineUpgrading and adding aftermarket equipment to your 1999-Up Super Duty or Excursion with 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engine. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 7.3L Power Stroke engine.
No. The Exhaust Back Pressure Valve (EBPV) is post turbo wastegate and helps your rig warm up quicker by providing restriction on the exhaust when you start it up cold.
Sometimes they stick partially closed or they break and "flap in the wind". The restriction can cause excessive EGT's (among other things).
Something to check, anyway.
