Fixed my leaking stock pedestal, and got me back on the road.

Good quality, turbo drain and feed holes line up good and all the bolt holes lined up good too. Just have to remember to put sealant on the feed plug on the back or youll have a leak like i did

The stock bolts going into the turbo did not fit the new pedestal. They were too long and had to be shortened. Two had to be shortened significantly more than the other two. Otherwise the pedestal was a good fit. If RiffRaff had recommended a new set of bolts for this pedestal, I would have bought it.

Works great ?

The turbo pedestal feels like a quality product. The only issue I had is that 2 bolts that held my turbo to my original pedestal were tool long due to the fact the new turbo pedestal is shaped differently that the oem one so you’ll likely need 2 shorter bolts to install.

Awesome product from Riffraff, looks good and everything bolted up like it should. I didn't realize it doesn't come with mounting bolts until I went to install it so you will want to order some. Riffraff Diesel is my go to place for all my 7.3 Powerstroke needs, Clay always gets right back to me with any questions. Thank you Clay and everyone at Riffraff!!!

If Riff Raff sells it,you know you there’s no reason to question it. Works as it should and sealed perfectly

Great fit and finish on this product which I’ve just come to expect from Riffraff! It fixes the leaking EBPV permanently which as a side benefit also makes the turbo reinstall easier than it was to pull with the EBPV pedestal (less clutter). You’re going to want not only standard wrenches and sockets, but also a combination of flex head and stubby ratcheting wrenches to pull/reinstall the turbo and pedestal. I also had a 2” torque adapter set and a 10mm swivel socket which i don’t think I could have connected up pipes without.

It should go without saying that if you’re doing this modification, you’re also replacing turbo/pedestal o-rings and if it hasn’t been done recently, rebuilding your turbo. Take your time and plan on it being more than a one day project. My ‘97 OBS with 275k on the original turbo took me 30+ hours of work to pull, rebuild, and reinstall (reinstall was less than 3 hours). But there was a LOT of cleanup and about half of my bolts required significant work to get out (some of which broke resulting in me replacing a couple extra parts when I couldn’t get them out with an easy out). Regardless it’s not a quick project.

Great high quality part. Tough job but possible for the average Joe
