Banks Power Ford Trucks: (Diesel ’99 - 03 7.3L Power Stroke) Forced Induction- Big Head Wastegate Actuator '99-03 F-250 & F-350 pickup - Manual (Page 3)

Installation
Instructions
1.
Remove the decorative plastic
cover directly over the engine.
2.
Disconnect the boost line
attached to the nipple on the
wastegate actuator.
For ease of installation, Gale Banks
Engineering recommends removing
the turbocharger from the vehicle
prior to installing the Banks Big Head
wastegate actuator. If installing the
Banks Big Head actuator without
removing the turbocharger, proceed
to
Step 8.
3.
Loosen the clamp holding the air
intake hose at the turbocharger
compressor inlet. Pull the hose free
of the turbo compressor. Disconnect
all wiring and plastic tubing attached
to components on the turbo
compressor discharge plenum casting.
4.
Loosen the four clamps on the
hoses connecting the compressor
discharge plenum casting to the
intake manifolds. Loosen the clamp
attaching the plenum to the
turbocharger compressor outlet and
the intercooler duct. Remove the
compressor discharge plenum from
the engine. Cover the two intake-
manifold hose nipples with clean rags
to prevent foreign objects from
entering the engine.
5.
Disengage the exhaust-
backpressure control actuator rod by
sliding the cover on the end of the
rod back toward the turbocharger
and pulling the rod downward. This
rod is below the turbine housing; it is
not the wastegate actuator rod that
runs across the top of the turbocharger
(see Figure 1).
6.
At the rear of the turbine housing,
loosen and remove the two V-band
clamps attaching the turbine housing
to the exhaust inlet casting and
turbine outlet pipe. Remove the two
bolts attaching the turbocharger
bearing housing to the pedestal base
mounted on the engine. Remove the
turbocharger from the engine by
lifting while lightly tapping the
turbine housing with a hammer.
7.
Remove the two O-rings from the
junction of the turbocharger bearing
housing and pedestal mount. Place a
clean rag over the oil passages in the
pedestal mount and the exhaust inlet
casting to prevent foreign object entry.
