Need some help with EBV sensor

I found diesel soot around the fuel filter and GPR, which puzzled me until I found a hole in the little tube running from the exhaust manifold to the EBV Sensor.

Since I don't have an EBV anymore, I'm tryin to decide what to do with the sensor. I know it controls the EBV in cold weather, but does it do anything else regarding performance?

Dennis at ITP suggested routing boost pressure to the EBV sensor so it has something to see, keeping the PCM happy. But it uses -05JIC fittings and I'm having a little trouble finding them locally.

Anyone have any experience with this? Will I piss off the PCM if I simply unplug the sensor and chuck it? By "piss off" I mean affect performance or set the SES light: I don't care if it sets a "look at the bad sensor" code.

So what do you guys think? Thanks in advance /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

I took the sensor off the pedastal and plugged it in and threw it in the valley.

As for the sensor on the front of the motor.I found mine clogged to end of the earth tonight.The only time you will throw a code is when your boost is sustained and the back pressure sensor doesn't read nothing but baro or atmosphere pressure.

Hope this helps a little
