I eliminated the ebpv on the turbo when installing a power elbow. The elbow came with a jumper plug to keep from throwing trouble codes. My questions are....
Does the ebp sensor still function/serve any purpose after removing the valve on the turbo. I hooked up AE and got codes relating to EBP.
Is the sensor located near the water pump?
What is all this gunk that members talk about cleaning out?
Where does this EBP tube begin and end?

Thanks to all that have posted and helped since I joined TDS. I became a member after snapping my ankle and having major reconstructive surgery (6 inch bar and 11 screws holding my ankle together). Needless to say, I have had plenty of time reading everybody's issues while laying on the couch with my foot up. I'm amazed at the wealth of knowledge offered at this site!!!

any luck?

Sling, old thread but from my research you still want to keep your EBPS hooked up and functional (tube cleaned) even if you do the EBPV delete.

My EBPS was in its first stages of failure a month ago and I replaced my EBPS and Tube with Motorcraft a month back. The tubes are only $40 and when I started to clean mine I noticed a very small pinhole. It was very small but indicated the tube was worn out and even a small pinhole will allow a leak that will result in an incorrect pressure reading by the Sensor.

bring back the dead!!!!!!

the EBPS as to stay plug in and tube clean like Articdriver said. the EBPVA on the turbo pedestal is no use after you do the EBPV delete so you can just unplug it. I have the non EBPV pedestal so no actuator on it.

They are completely different and are no connected in no way.

The ebp sensor measures back pressure to determine fuel trim.

The ebp valve closes to aid in bringing oil temps up.

blue's spot on .
Just leave the EBP sensor connected you'll need it, it reports back to the PCM for back pressure readings.
You'll have no problem if you gut the pedestal and use a high flow out let, the EBP sensor will still function the way it was meant to.
