Features:
If you're tired of dealing with a sticking exhaust backpressure valve on your 7.3L Powerstroke, the BD Diesel Turbocharger Pedestal Kit is a smart and reliable upgrade. Designed specifically for 1999–2003 Ford F250 and F350 Super Duty trucks, this kit removes the factory warm-up valve on GTP38 turbos, giving your system cleaner airflow and fewer moving parts to fail. It's perfect for those in warmer climates where the warm-up feature isn’t needed or for anyone building a more performance-focused setup. By eliminating the EBP valve, you’re also cutting out one of the most common causes of power loss and turbo reliability issues on the 7.3L platform. It’s a cleaner, simpler design that helps your turbo do what it was built to do, move air and make power. With a quick 3-hour install and no tuning required, you can get back on the road fast with more confidence under the hood. This is an upgrade that brings both peace of mind and better performance.
The BD Diesel 1047512 Turbocharger Pedestal Kit is a direct replacement for the stock pedestal used with the GTP38 turbocharger on 1999 to 2003 7.3L Powerstroke-equipped Ford Super Duty trucks. This kit eliminates the factory exhaust backpressure valve system, which is known to cause issues such as sticking and unwanted restriction under load. The upgraded pedestal retains all critical mounting points and oil passages, ensuring proper fitment and function without the need for modifications. Its simplified design improves long-term reliability and makes it ideal for performance builds or trucks operating in areas where the warm-up valve is unnecessary. This product meets federal EPA emissions standards under the reasonable basis exemption, but is not legal for use on vehicles registered in California. Installation can typically be completed in about three hours with standard tools, making it an approachable job for experienced DIYers or professional technicians. With its durable construction and practical design, this pedestal kit addresses a key weak point in the 7.3L turbo system.
