Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1047151 Turbo Boost Control Adjustable Wastegate Kit is the proven fix for wastegate creep and weak boost control on Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins trucks running the Holset HX35 turbocharger. This adjustable wastegate kit keeps the bypass valve closed longer to build boost faster, improve bottom-end response, and maintain consistent boost under load — especially helpful for towing, street performance, and heavy-use daily driving.
Unlike worn factory actuators that open early or creep open under drive pressure, the BD adjustable kit features a high-temperature diaphragm, heavier spring, and a turnbuckle-style adjustment that allows precise boost pressure settings. This kit is designed for 1999–2002 manual transmission trucks and 1999 automatic transmission trucks equipped with the HX35 turbocharger.

What is wastegate “creep”?
Wastegate creep happens when the wastegate valve slowly opens under drive pressure, bleeding off boost and reducing performance. This kit helps keep the wastegate closed longer to maintain consistent boost.
Is this kit adjustable?
Yes. The turnbuckle-style adjustment allows you to precisely set wastegate opening pressure and dial in consistent boost levels.
Will this fit an HY35 or other turbo?
No. This kit is designed specifically for trucks equipped with the Holset HX35 turbocharger.
