Unlock Your 7.3L Powerstroke Potential

The 1999 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke is a legendary engine, but the factory turbo system is often held back by an inefficient wastegate actuator. The Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator is designed to replace the weak stock component, ensuring your turbocharger stays within its optimal operating range. By preventing premature wastegate opening, you gain better control over your boost pressure.

Key Advantages

• Increased Diaphragm Area: Twice the surface area of the stock unit for more precise actuation.
• Stronger Spring Pressure: Keeps the wastegate valve firmly seated until the desired boost level is reached.
• Enhanced Mid-Range Torque: Experience improved pulling power and acceleration.
• Faster Spooling: Reach peak boost levels significantly quicker than stock.

When exhaust backpressure rises, standard actuators often "blow off" the seat, which softens your boost curve and kills your engine's torque output. The Banks BigHead solves this by holding the wastegate shut until the precise moment it needs to open, maintaining peak boost for longer periods. This is an essential upgrade for any 7.3L owner looking to improve daily driveability and towing performance.
