Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator for 1999.5-2003 Ford F-250/F-350 7.3L Power Stroke - Improved Boost Control and Mid-Range Power

Under high-boost conditions, the stock actuator's weak spring allows the wastegate to blow open, limiting midrange torque. 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. Key Features: Quick, Controlled Boost. Produces massive torque right from idle. Doubles stock's diaphragm area & spring pressure. Keeps valve seated longer achieving higher peak boost, sooner. Crisp acceleration and more mid-range pulling power.

Upgrade your Ford F-250 or F-350 with the Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator, designed specifically for 1999.5 to 2003 model years with 7.3L Power Stroke engines. This replacement part enhances turbocharger performance by providing precise boost control, resulting in quicker spool times and increased mid-range torque. Its larger diaphragm area and higher spring pressure enable the wastegate to stay seated longer, allowing for higher peak boost levels and more consistent power delivery. This leads to improved acceleration and pulling power throughout the mid-range RPMs, making your truck more responsive and capable under load. The BigHead actuator eliminates the issues associated with stock wastegates, such as premature blow-off caused by high exhaust backpressure or bleed orifices, which can soften boost and reduce torque. Designed to fit the stock or Banks housing, this actuator is an essential upgrade for performance enthusiasts seeking to maximize their truck's turbo capabilities. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with turbo systems, and it is compatible with Banks kits, specifically kit 47091-98.
