Does anyone have experience using the Banks big head wastegate actuator, on a stock or aftermarket turbo ? Does it do what they claim ? Or would an adjustable boost valve work better, like the big boost kit I have seen for sale ?

Did you put it on the stock turbo ? Did you notice longer boost duration than before, or higher boost sooner, at low speeds ? How long have you been using it ?

Yeah it went on the stock turbo but I also fitted the banks turbo wheel at the same time. Also did the tuner at the same time so I couldn't say if it helped any. But it hasn't hindered anything. It's been fitted for about 6 years.

Thanks, that helps a lot. Just what I was looking to find out. You like your DP ? What tunes do you run ? Tow or economy ?
