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 \u0026amp; spring pressure. Keeps valve seated longer achieving higher peak boost, sooner. Crisp acceleration and more mid-range pulling power.\nBigHead Actuator, Wastegate actuator, Banks or Stock housing for 1999.5-2003 Ford F250\/F350 7.3L Power Stroke\nCarb E.O. not required REPLACEMENT PART ONLY Used in Banks Kits: 47091-98\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor higher peak boost, sooner\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMore Mid Range Muscle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpgrade 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. The product is not CARB certified but is suitable for use in regions where emissions compliance is not mandated. Constructed from durable materials, the Banks BigHead Wastegate Actuator ensures reliable performance and long-lasting operation. By replacing the stock actuator with this high-performance component, you unlock improved boost pressure, enhanced mid-range torque, and more responsive acceleration, making it an ideal upgrade for towing, hauling, or spirited driving. Whether you're looking to increase power or improve turbo response, the Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator is a proven solution for your 7.3L Power Stroke diesel engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eQuick, controlled boost for immediate power response\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eProduces massive torque right from idle for enhanced performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDoubles the stock's diaphragm area and spring pressure for higher peak boost\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eKeeps the wastegate valve seated longer for sustained boost levels\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAchieves higher peak boost levels sooner for quicker spool-up\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEnhances mid-range pulling power and acceleration\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFitment:\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford E-350 Super Duty Base\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford E-350 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford F-250 Base\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford F-250 Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford F-250 XL\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford F-250 XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2000 Ford E-350 Super Duty Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2000 Ford E-350 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n2000 Ford Excursion Limited\u003cbr\u003e\n2000 Ford Excursion XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\n2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2000 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\n2000 Ford F-350 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n2000 Ford F-350 Super Duty XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2001 Ford E-350 Super Duty Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2001 Ford Excursion Limited\u003cbr\u003e\n2001 Ford Excursion XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\n2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n2001 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\n2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n2001 Ford F-350 Super Duty XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2002 Ford E-350 Super Duty Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2002 Ford Excursion Limited\u003cbr\u003e\n2002 Ford Excursion XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\n2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\n2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Ford E-350 Super Duty Base\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Ford Excursion Limited\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Ford Excursion XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty King Ranch\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty XL\u003cbr\u003e\n2003 Ford F-350 Super Duty XLT\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":53617643618577,"sku":"24401","price":228.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3830\/0689\/files\/fae6bbda326eeeb81614528ef810cac5.jpg?v=1780475643","url":"https:\/\/shoprenegade.com\/products\/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","provider":"Renegade Speed by Renegade Racing \u0026 Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
