Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator for 1999.5-2003 Ford F-250/F-350 7.3L Power Stroke

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 7.3L Power Stroke engine with the Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator, part number 24401. Designed to deliver superior boost control, this high-performance replacement part addresses common issues caused by stock actuators under high-boost conditions. 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 immediate torque delivery from idle, providing more power for towing, acceleration, and overall engine performance. Built for durability and precision, the BigHead maintains optimal boost levels, preventing premature wastegate blow-off that softens midrange torque and reduces overall engine responsiveness. Installing this actuator allows your vehicle to achieve peak boost sooner and hold it steadily, translating into crisp acceleration and enhanced mid-range pulling power.
