Stop Leaks. Improve Spool. Delete the Problem for Good.
If your 7.3 Powerstroke is leaking oil from the turbo pedestal, has a sticking Exhaust Back Pressure Valve (EBPV), or you’re upgrading your turbo — this is the fix.
The SWAG Performance 7.3L Non-EBV Exhaust Housing & Pedestal Kit completely eliminates the factory EBPV system — one of the most common failure points on 1999.5–2003 7.3L Powerstroke engines.
No more:
-
Oil dripping down the back of the engine
-
Sticking EBPV valves
-
Cold-weather squeal
-
Boost restriction from a worn backpressure valve
-
Replacing pedestal O-rings over and over
This is the clean, permanent solution serious 7.3 owners install.
Why Delete the 7.3 EBPV?
Ford designed the EBPV to help warm up the engine faster. That’s it.
But 20+ years later?
It leaks.
It sticks.
It restricts exhaust flow.
It fails.
Deleting it removes a major reliability issue and simplifies your turbo system — especially on tuned or performance-built trucks.
Key Features & Benefits
• Direct Replacement for OE Pedestal & Housing
Engineered to replace factory pedestal and exhaust housing components without modification. Compatible with stock and aftermarket turbos that require non-EBPV setups.
• Eliminates EBPV Failure Points
Removes the Exhaust Back Pressure Valve (also called EBPV or warm-up valve) that frequently leaks or malfunctions, leading to exhaust soot and oil trails.
• Improved Exhaust Flow & Turbo Efficiency
With the restrictive EBV removed, exhaust exits more freely — which can reduce backpressure, potentially improve turbo spool-up, and enhance throttle response under many conditions.
• DIY-Friendly Installation
Simple bolt-on design installs cleanly with factory gaskets and hardware (sold with or without install hardware depending on SKU). Ideal for DIY enthusiasts and professional techs alike.
• OEM & Aftermarket Fitment
Replaces Garrett P/N 702670-0002 and Rotomaster P/N A1382205N / A1383801N — fits a wide range of turbo applications and EBPV delete needs.
