Feel The Power Kick In When You Need It Most

Ever wish your truck had just a little more punch when you roll into the throttle? The Banks Big Head Actuator Kit is exactly what your 2003-2004 5.9L Cummins needs to wake it up in the midrange. This isn't just a swap for the factory wastegate actuator, it's a serious upgrade designed to hold boost longer and deliver it sooner. That means when you're hauling a heavy load, climbing a grade, or just trying to beat traffic, your turbo is working with you, not against you. The stock actuator tends to blow off early when backpressure rises, which robs your torque right where you need it. Banks engineered this actuator to stay shut longer, helping you get better throttle response and more consistent acceleration. If you tow often or just want your truck to feel tighter and more responsive, this is a smart and noticeable performance mod.

Engineered To Outperform Factory Boost Control

The Banks Big Head Wastegate Actuator is built with performance in mind, giving your turbocharger the precision it deserves. With twice the diaphragm area and higher spring pressure than the stock unit, this actuator is designed to resist backpressure and keep the wastegate valve seated when it matters most. That allows your turbo to build boost faster and hold it longer, improving both throttle response and midrange torque output. It's a great fit for stock or mildly tuned setups and is especially useful in applications where maintaining boost under load is critical. The consistent control it provides helps avoid premature wastegate opening, giving your engine a more stable and predictable powerband. Everything about this actuator is built to last, from the reinforced housing to the responsive internal components. Just be sure to note that it does not fit the later 2004.5-2007 Cummins 325/600 engines.
