Bleed orifices (also known as \"boost foolers\") just make it worse. Only Banks solves this problem by replacing the boost actuator. BigHead holds the wastegate closed for quicker boost, then controls the opening to maintain peak boost for superior acceleration and mid-range pulling power. Power Now! When turbo exhaust backpressure increases, the stock actuator prematurely blows off the seat, softening boost in the midrange and killing torque. With twice the diaphragm area and spring pressure of the stock wastegate, Banks BigHead Wastegate Actuator keeps the valve seated longer and achieves a higher peak boost, sooner. At peak, BigHead opens the wastegate and holds its position, for precise boost control that gives you crisp acceleration and more mid-range pulling power. Note: Does not fit 04.5-07 Cummins 325\/600 engine. BigHead Wastegate Actuator Kit for use with 2003-2004 Dodge 5.9L, 235-305hp.  Key Features: Quick, Controlled Boost. Produces massive torque right from idle. Doubles stock's diaphragm area and spring pressure.

This high-performance upgrade addresses the limitations of stock actuators by providing superior boost control, resulting in quicker spool times and increased mid-range torque. Constructed with twice the diaphragm area and spring pressure of the factory unit, the Big Head actuator maintains the wastegate valve seated longer, allowing for higher peak boost levels achieved sooner during acceleration. This translates to improved throttle response, better mid-range pulling power, and more responsive overall performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit features a precision-controlled boost system that produces massive torque right from idle, making it ideal for towing, heavy-duty applications, and enthusiasts seeking optimal engine performance. By holding the wastegate closed longer and controlling its opening, the Big Head actuator ensures consistent peak boost pressure, eliminating issues caused by bleed orifices or “boost foolers” that can undermine factory systems. Its robust design makes it a reliable replacement for the stock actuator, providing crisp, controlled acceleration while maintaining peak boost levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned specifically for 2003-2004 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with 5.9L engines producing between 235 and 305 horsepower, this kit does not fit the 04.5-07 Cummins 325\/600 engines. The installation replaces the factory component without the need for carb certification, making it a straightforward upgrade for appropriate vehicles. Improve your engine’s boost response, increase torque output, and enjoy more efficient power delivery with the Banks Power Big Head Wastegate Actuator Kit, part number 24331, a proven solution for maximizing your diesel truck’s performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eQuick, Controlled Boost for faster spool and peak pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProduces massive torque right from idle for enhanced towing and acceleration\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDoubles stock diaphragm area and spring pressure for higher boost levels\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eKeeps the wastegate valve seated longer to achieve higher peak boost sooner\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eImproves mid-range pulling power and throttle response\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDesigned for 2003-2004 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 with 5.9L Cummins engines (235-305hp)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eReliable replacement part that eliminates boost control issues caused by stock components\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFitment:\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Dodge Ram 2500 ST\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Dodge Ram 3500 ST\u003cbr\u003e\n2004 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2004 Dodge Ram 2500 ST\u003cbr\u003e\n2004 Dodge Ram 3500 Laramie\u003cbr\u003e\n2004 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2004 Dodge Ram 3500 ST\u003cstyle\u003etable.productattributes, .productattributes td { border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; border-collapse: collapse; padding: 2px; text-align: left; }\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"productattributes\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbdoy\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAir Freight Prohibited: false\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNot Carb Approved: true\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCarb Acknowledgement Required: true\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLtl Freight Required: false\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProp 65: Y\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePart Type: automotive\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eEpa: N\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRegular Stock: t\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eUnits Per Sku: 1\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbdoy\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Banks Power","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53617645814033,"sku":"24331","price":228.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3830\/0689\/files\/52b4c67b64e8ec4c06c01274894c446b.jpg?v=1780475891","url":"https:\/\/shoprenegade.com\/products\/banks-power-03-04-dodge-5-9l-big-head-wastegate-actuator-kit-part-24331","provider":"Renegade Speed by Renegade Racing \u0026 Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
