Stop wastegate blow-open on your 99.5–03 Ford 7.3L with the Banks BigHead Wastegate Actuator (Banks/stock housing). It holds the wastegate closed for quicker boost, then controls the opening to maintain peak boost for superior acceleration and mid-range pulling power.
Why Choose the Banks BigHead Actuator?
- Twice the diaphragm area and spring pressure – keeps the valve seated longer than the stock wastegate
- Higher peak boost, sooner – crisp acceleration and more mid-range pulling power
- Fixes the weak stock spring – stops the wastegate blowing open under high boost and killing midrange torque
- Precise boost control – at peak, BigHead opens the wastegate and holds its position
- Better than boost foolers – bleed orifices just make it worse – Banks replaces the actuator
