    Runner flap delete opinions

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I have a code for the intake runner flap motor. I tried to re adapt it but it fails. I plan on doing a carbon clean and replacing the flap motor or just deleting it altogether. After searching, I get mixed opinions on using aftermarket flapper delete kits. Does anyone have any personal experiences with deleting the intake flappers?

    Make me an offer on mine? Has 132,000 km on it.

    I'm currently adapting my car to an IE intake manifold. I've just coded it out using maestro software. Beginning steps of this so I cannot provide too much on how it runs without the run flapper.

    you might take the intake runner off and find the flapper jammed up from carbon.

    I have my runner flaps deleted and it cold starts terribly. My tuner has tried to fix it through the tune but nothing has worked. I wouldn't recommend deleting them. In fact I'm looking for someone to sell me runner flaps.

    Would you sell just the flapper alone?
