What ever you do don't kick yourself in the butt like many have including me by getting one that installs on the turbo elbow.
You want an inline, pretty sure BD offers one.
Problem with the elbow e-brakes is if you ever decide to install a different turbo some time in the future (don't say never) the brake may not fit on the new turbo.
You're stuck with buying an inline and trying to sell the elbow brake.

I have a BD and have worked on several Pacs. Seems they both have identical problems that are easy to overcome with routine maintenance,
On a 1 to 10 scale install is about a 5.
If you go for an inline helps to have a sawzall.
