The 7.3L Powerstroke is celebrated for its reliability, but even the best have weak spots. A common fault is the factory Exhaust Back Pressure Valve (EBV). When this butterfly valve seizes, usually in the closed position, it chokes your exhaust flow, leaving your truck immobilized until repaired. Why settle for temporary fixes like wiring it open or removing the valve entirely when you can upgrade to the Rotomaster Turbo Pedestal? This high-flow, fail-proof solution removes the EBV and prevents leaks from the factory actuator rod assembly while improving overall exhaust flow and durability. Designed to fit seamlessly with both the stock 1999.5-2003 turbo and the Garrett GTP38R, this pedestal comes complete with O-rings and two replacement upper bolts for an easy install. It’s the perfect choice for areas where the EBV warm-up feature is unnecessary or where sticky valves are a recurring headache. Upgrade your 7.3 Powerstroke with confidence, knowing you’re enhancing performance and eliminating a major point of failure.
Optional Add-On: Non-EBV Turbo Outlet
For a complete EBV elimination, you can upgrade to the non-EBV turbo outlet. This bolt-on component replaces the factory butterfly valve assembly post-turbo, further improving exhaust flow and reliability. Pair it with your new Rotomaster pedestal for a fully optimized system. Seven replacement mounting bolts for the outlet are also recommended, as the original hardware is often worn.
Take your 7.3 Powerstroke to the next level with this durable, performance-enhancing upgrade that ensures you stay on the road and out of the repair shop.
