The flaps are for cold start warm up assistance then once at operation temp, they rotate out of the way. The flaps in the manifold in the folded position DO NOT affect airflow or hinder performance, until you got BIG turbo and maybe meth injection. For stock application, or stages 1-2+ the flappers dont bother a thing. As a certified VW tech, I promise you this is a waste of time and $$$. If you happen to have DTC P2015 for intake runner position, simply remove and replace your entire intake manifold with new updated part and while the manifold is off, reseal your injectors and more importantly, perform a carbon clean service and clean the carbon off the back sides of your intake valves. That will drastically improve low end throttle response a thousand more times than flapper delete.
Hi Tniedrich. Firstly, forgive me for my english, it's not so good. I think the same thing. I had the error DTC P2015 and I replaced entire intake manifold. I have a Audi S3 stage 3, my turbocharger system it's a APR EFR7163 kit. It's a big turbo. In your opinion, it's good idea the flapper delete in my case?
Sounds like something a stealership employee would say I have a 2008 Jetta FSi it’s worth 2 grand and a shitbox with 120,000 miles I’m not buying a manifold for a car that’s not worth fixing but this design is useless therefore I’m simply going to zip tie the flaps to constantly open How about you come fix all the shitboxes for free before suggesting a expensive repair
Hey there people so it’s me checking in again it has been 2 weeks since I broke all flaps off and sealed the little holes in normal spacers no issues better pull
Have done this mod absolutely great Power low end rolling is quick with a gentle acceleration but overall I feel stick with stock What you not told is your plugs will have to be gapped to accommodate the larger air flow your map sensor needs to be upgraded to a 4bar map sensor. You need to also get someone to do a runner flap delete plug in using vcds so your check engine light /P2015 is gone. The morning start up is terrible but smooths out within a minute your fuel air ratio too needs to be calabrated and new cold start switch to allow extra fueling on cold start lots to do with this mod.
X8R Ltd thank you for the quick reply . If it's connected the ECu will think it's there and not flag codes. As since the codes are popping up that means it's not been mapped out . So I will have it plugged in
@@jasonouderkirk5142 I did it just too see so it's been 2 months now and no codes nothing first month broke fins left rod. Now I have the rod holes plugged fully and nothing in it still runs great not a single code. Hate parts like this
Will these work on a 2012 mk6 gti? New to the vw scene and had a code for my intake manifold position sensor so I'm pretty sure after seeing this video my problem won't me solved once my sensor arrives.
What's the price on these? Do you ship international? What part of the coding would I go to remove the error signal when removing the flaps? We've already done a Stage2 to our projec car. Is there anything I should know before acquiring this product?
They should also be removed. That's the part that actually fails when using methanol injection or too much nitrous oxide. The cold temperatures, make the fixed metal divider brittle, then it breaks.
@@knduong Yes, do the runner flap delete if you are going to be doing heavy amounts of methanol injection. If you are going to be doing it only for a few seconds at a time, then I'd recommend it. If you are using the Sno Performance, kit at the smallest nozzle, then you wouldn't need to do the delete.
Hi, According to vcds I have such an error: 17439 - Manifold Change-Over Valve (N136): Setpoint Not Reached Can you help me and advise me where to look for a problem ?

Hi i have codes at tge moment, (P200400: Intake Manifold Runner Control Bank 1 Stuck Open) so if i remove the flaps it will sort my problem? Also would this have a knock on effect with fuel and air mixture issues and fuel consumption?

To save money on an audi that isn't worth much, is the 2015 usually the position sensor going bad?
You are so 100% correct.

And yes i got a p2015 code and this shouldn’t be a common issue but it is , not a performance gain but it’s a reliability gain
Hey there people so it’s me checking in again it has been 2 weeks since I broke all flaps off and sealed the little holes in normal spacers no issues better pull
how is the cold start up?. does it run good?
Does this throw a code due to higher airflow?

What programming is required to remove the P2004 code after the flapper delete??
@Rotibajan this is where I'm at also. Any fix?
@@ldunmdxI’m bout to do mines we’ll see what happens
@@cibola5chris I ended up getting a custom tune and mapped the RFD cold start out. No issues
Are the 2.0 & 1.8tfsi the same ?
i have just purchased this kit on ebay.
do you put the swirl moter back on and plug it so that the ECU thinks its there ?
Yes that is correct or you can have it mapped out.
X8R Ltd thank you for the quick reply .

What do you do with the imrc? And the electronics to prevent a dtc codes
So if you still leave motor and plug it in why not just cut out the flaps leave the rod and have no flaps no codes and not pay anything?
Exactly, what a rip-off

BuildingaudiA3 Selffab what do you plug it with!?
Wait so I can just cut out the flaps and leave everything else it in and it should be no problem? No CEL ? Rather then paying a fortune for a kit
Jesse Romero nailed it!
Just out of curiosity instead of buying the delete kit inserts can you just cut the ones on the flaps and insert them back in?

hello the flaps that are in the cylinder head of the engine are also removed or should they be left installed?

Does this work for a 2010 Volkswagen cc 2.0 Turbo TSI
you will still get an engine light and fail OBD readiness monitors tests.
Get a code reader and delete codes lol
@@IvForbiddenvI and what will that fix?
It has to be mapped in I think
same problem here! got an OBD reader and got to reset it every 10 km. Got too tired and just bought a new intake manifold.
@@IvForbiddenvI Every time you clear the DTC you also reset the readiness monitors.
how about 2.0 TFSI EA888 2015 >>> ?
Do you have any for the 3.2
Were can buy this kit?
