The Banks Power Dodge 5.9L (All) 12V / 98.5 24V Big Head Actuator Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed to improve boost control and mid-range torque on Dodge 5.9L engines. This kit replaces the stock boost actuator, which under high-boost conditions can allow the wastegate to blow open due to a weak spring, limiting torque and acceleration. The BigHead wastegate actuator holds the wastegate closed for quicker boost response and maintains peak boost levels by controlling the opening pressure. It doubles the stock diaphragm area and spring pressure, ensuring the valve remains seated at higher pressures for increased mid-range torque and top-end power. This results in crisp acceleration, superior pulling power, and more consistent boost control under demanding conditions.
Designed for all Dodge 5.9L engines with 12V or 24V configurations, this kit is a direct replacement upgrade that enhances performance under high-boost scenarios. It is suitable for street, towing, and performance applications where reliable boost control and increased torque are desired. The kit includes the exclusive BigHead wastegate actuator, engineered to prevent wastegate blow-open and improve overall boost stability. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with turbocharged diesel engines, making it an ideal upgrade for maximizing mid-range and top-end power on Dodge 5.9L setups.

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
