Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1047170 Turbo Boost Control Adjustable Wastegate Kit is the proven fix for wastegate “creep” on the 1999.5–2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke. If your truck feels lazy down low, struggles to build boost, or you want stronger spool-up and better mid-range response, this adjustable wastegate kit helps keep the bypass valve closed longer to build boost sooner and hold boost more consistently under load.
BD’s adjustable wastegate kit is built with stainless steel brackets, a high-temperature Nomex diaphragm, and a heavier spring to improve boost control and durability. The included turnbuckle adjustment allows quick and precise boost setting changes, so you can fine-tune boost response based on your setup and driving needs.

What is wastegate “creep”?
Wastegate creep is when the wastegate begins opening too early under boost, causing slower spool-up, reduced low-end power, and difficulty maintaining target boost levels. This adjustable kit helps keep the wastegate closed longer to improve response.
Can I adjust boost pressure with this kit?
Yes. The included turnbuckle adjustment allows you to fine-tune wastegate opening behavior for precise boost control.
Does this require tuning?
This kit can be installed on a stock truck without tuning, but boost adjustments should be made carefully and monitored with a boost gauge, especially on modified trucks.
