Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1045991 X-Hook Turbo Wastegate Control is a simple, effective way to improve turbo response on 2001–2002 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins trucks equipped with the factory HY35 turbo. The HY35 uses a hard steel wastegate actuator line, which can make traditional boost control upgrades difficult. The BD X-Hook bolts directly to the turbo housing and increases pressure on the wastegate lever to help delay opening, improving low-end boost and throttle response.
This bolt-on wastegate control is a cost-effective option for Dodge Cummins owners who want stronger spool and low-end torque without swapping turbos or extensive modifications. It’s designed to be easy to install with basic hand tools, and it provides a noticeable improvement in turbo responsiveness under load.
