The Banks Power 99-99.5 Ford 7.3L Big Head Actuator Assembly is a high-performance wastegate actuator designed to improve boost control and mid-range torque for 7.3L diesel engines. Constructed with doubled diaphragm area and increased spring pressure, this assembly ensures the wastegate remains seated longer, allowing for higher peak boost levels and quicker spool times. It effectively prevents premature wastegate opening under high exhaust backpressure, which can soften boost and reduce torque. By maintaining precise boost control, the Big Head Actuator delivers crisp acceleration and enhanced mid-range pulling power, making it an ideal upgrade for demanding performance applications.
This actuator is specifically designed for trucks manufactured in 1998 with Ford 7.3L engines, covering model years 1999 to 1999.5. It is a direct replacement for OEM part numbers 47521, EO D-161-110, and D-161-58. Suitable for use in street and performance driving, it offers improved boost response and torque delivery. Installation involves replacing the stock actuator with this assembly, providing a reliable upgrade for increased power and efficiency. This product is intended for enthusiasts seeking precise boost control and enhanced mid-range performance on compatible Ford 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. 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. For trucks manufactured in 1998. Build date can be found on vehicle information tag driver door jamb. Replacement part for PN 47521 EO D-161-110 and D-161-58 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. Fits Ford 7.3L (1999-1999.5) manufactured in 1998
