Banks Power 99.5-03 Ford 7.3L Big Head Actuator Banks/Stock Hsg

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.

• For higher peak boost, sooner
• More Mid Range Muscle

Upgrade your Ford F-250 or F-350 7.3L Power Stroke with the Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator, designed specifically for models from 1999.5 to 2003. This high-performance replacement part enhances boost control by replacing the stock actuator, which under high-boost conditions can allow the wastegate to blow open prematurely, limiting midrange torque and overall performance. The BigHead actuator features twice the diaphragm area and spring pressure of the stock unit, ensuring the wastegate remains seated longer for higher peak boost and quicker throttle response. This results in improved acceleration, increased mid-range pulling power, and a more responsive driving experience.
