The Banks Power Big Head Actuator Kit is a high-performance replacement for the stock wastegate actuator, designed to improve boost control and mid-range torque in Dodge trucks from 1999 to 2002. Built with a larger diaphragm area and increased spring pressure, this actuator holds the wastegate closed for quicker boost buildup and maintains peak boost levels more effectively. By preventing wastegate blow-open under high-boost conditions, it ensures more consistent and controlled boost delivery, resulting in crisper acceleration and enhanced mid-range pulling power. The BigHead actuator is an exclusive solution that doubles the stock's diaphragm size and spring strength, allowing the wastegate valve to stay seated at higher pressures and achieve higher peak boost sooner.
This kit is compatible with all Dodge models from 1999 to 2002 equipped with turbocharged engines, making it an ideal upgrade for street performance and towing applications. It replaces the factory actuator with a direct bolt-on component that enhances boost response and top-end power. Designed specifically for high-boost conditions, the Big Head Actuator Kit is suitable for enthusiasts seeking improved acceleration and mid-range performance. Installation involves replacing the existing actuator with this upgraded unit, providing a reliable and durable solution for maintaining peak boost levels and optimizing turbocharger performance in Dodge trucks.

Overview
Overview
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. Banks exclusive BigHead wastegate actuator prevents wastegate blow-open by keeping the valve seated at higher pressures, increasing mid-range torque and top-end power. Key Features: Quick, Controlled Boost. Produces massive torque right from idle. Doubles stock's diaphragm area and spring pressure. Keeps the valve seated longer achieving higher peak boost, sooner. Crisp acceleration and more mid-range pulling power.
