The SPOOLOGIC SL-340-001 is a brand new, direct drop-in stock replacement EBPV turbo pedestal for 1994-1997 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks and 1995-1997 Ford E-350 Econoline vans with the 7.3L Powerstroke. Built to factory Garrett TP38 pedestal specifications with the hydraulic EBPV actuator built into the casting — so the cold-start back pressure system continues to work the way Ford engineered it.

This is a true stock replacement, not a performance upgrade. It's the right pedestal for daily drivers, work and fleet trucks, tow rigs, and restoration builds where the pedestal is cracked, leaking, or the EBPV solenoid has failed and the truck needs the factory back-pressure system restored.

What This Pedestal Does

The turbo pedestal mounts the turbo to the block and carries the oil and coolant passages that lubricate and cool the turbo bearings. On the 1994-1997 7.3L Powerstroke, the pedestal also houses the EBPV solenoid and hydraulic actuator that close a butterfly valve in the turbine outlet during cold starts, building back pressure to warm the engine faster and quiet cold-start noise. The SL-340-001 ships as a complete assembly with the solenoid and actuator already installed, pre-clocked, and pre-sealed, so the EBPV system is ready to plug into the OE harness and function exactly like the original.

What's Included

• SPOOLOGIC Turbo Pedestal with EBPV Solenoid
• SPOOLOGIC Turbo to Pedestal Bolt Kit (SL-320-006)
• SPOOLOGIC Turbo Pedestal To Block Bolt Kit (SL-320-004)
• SPOOLOGIC Turbo Pedestal Yellow O-Rings (SL-310-001)
• SPOOLOGIC Turbo Outlet to Spyder O-Ring (SL-310-002)
• SPOOLOGIC Turbo Flange Gasket (SL-310-004)
• SPOOLOGIC Up-Pipe Collector To Turbo Flange Bolt Kit (SL-320-002)

Materials & Construction

New aluminum pedestal body with a fresh EBPV bore, clean turbo mounting deck, and unstripped pedestal-to-block bolt bosses. Internal oil and coolant passages are machined to OE tolerances. Yellow Viton fluoroelastomer O-rings are rated for 400°F continuous service and hold up in the valley heat where nitrile would harden and crack. The EBPV solenoid and hydraulic actuator are installed at factory clocking and ship ready to plug into the OE harness connector.

Install Notes

Replace all pedestal O-rings any time the pedestal is unbolted from the block or the turbo is unbolted from the pedestal — old O-rings will not re-seat. Torque pedestal-to-block bolts to Ford service manual spec (typically 30 ft-lb) in a cross pattern. Torque turbo-to-pedestal bolts to 18 ft-lb — do not exceed 25 ft-lb or you will pinch the O-rings and cause a leak. Reconnect the EBPV solenoid harness before dropping the intake plenum. Torque the turbo flange bolts and up-pipe collector bolts evenly to seat the flange gasket without warping it.
