99-03 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke BD Turbo Mount Air Exhaust Brake

Control your 1999-2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke with the BD-Power 2023144 Turbo Mount Exhaust Brake. BD has been installing exhaust brakes on the Powerstroke since day one and set the standards for the amount of engine backpressure. Our tests revealed an extremely durable engine top end. The hydraulic lifters easily open the 140# valve springs. The forty pounds of backpressure the exhaust brake creates is far below the engine peak pressure. 

Thousands of exhaust brake installations over the years have proven this engine. This BD Exhaust Brake simply replaces the stock rear portion of the waste gated turbine housing. The BD Exhaust Brake incorporates BD's exclusive AlumiBronze bushing and piston ring sealed butterfly shaft that have proven to stand up to the exhaust emission environment. The brake incorporates BDs exclusive Variable Orifice technology, where the spring loaded piston in the powerful 3" vacuum cylinder or the air cylinder is compressed by the offset stainless steel butterfly once the peak retarding pressure is achieved. 

FEATURES:

-Rugged, Cast-Iron Housings 

-Stainless Steel Butterfly Shaft

-BD Exclusive Variable Orifice Technology

-Provides Up To 150 Retarding Horsepower 

Application Notes: 

-Will not work on early 1999 PowerStrokes (build date 03/21/99 and earlier)

-Exhaust Back Pressure test gauge kit 1030050 suggested for the set-up of exhaust brakes

-Fits stock turbochargers and some drop-in turbochargers that use the factory exhaust back pressure valve. 

-It is suggested to also install a lockup controller for electronic controlled lock-converters, or, a lower stall converter for manual or non lock-up converters

**Automatic-equipped trucks prior to 2006 require BD’s programmable AutoLoc and PressureLoc kits to electronically control torque converter clutch engagement. This addition effectively reduces slippage, resulting in peak retarding performance as well as lower transmission temperatures.**

All BD Brake kits come complete with the brake, air compressor (where applicable), mounting hardware, port to monitor the brake’s retarding performance, complete instructions and most models come with EGT port.

Automatic Transmissions – For best retarding results use a TowLoc, AutoLoc or TorqLoc
