The Banks Power BigHead Wastegate Actuator Assembly is designed to optimize boost control and increase mid-range torque for 1999 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks equipped with the 7.3L Power Stroke engine. Under high-boost conditions, the stock actuator's weak spring allows the wastegate to blow open prematurely, which reduces midrange torque and throttle response. Banks addresses this issue with a high-performance actuator that features twice the diaphragm area and spring pressure of the stock part, ensuring the wastegate remains seated longer and achieves higher peak boost levels more quickly. This results in improved acceleration, enhanced pulling power, and a more responsive driving experience. The BigHead actuator is engineered to hold the wastegate closed for quicker spool-up and then precisely control its opening to maintain peak boost, providing crisp throttle response and sustained mid-range power. The assembly is a direct replacement for OEM parts and fits trucks manufactured in 1998, specifically the 1999 Ford F-250 and F-350 models, delivering reliable performance and superior boost management. Installation is straightforward, making it an ideal upgrade for drivers seeking increased torque and improved turbo efficiency. This part is not CARB-legal and is intended solely for off-road or competition use, with acknowledgment of Prop 65 compliance. Trust Banks Power for high-quality, performance-enhancing components that maximize your truck’s capabilities and driving enjoyment.
