Hi,

new to the forum so apologies if this has been asked before.
The swirl flaps in the inlet manifold are remaining open and causing reduced power, rough idle and the engine light to come on. Been quoted £750 for a inlet manifold replacement!

however, following online research and speaking to some tuning specialists, Ive been advised I can get the swirl flaps deleted from the ecu and remapped. They advised the swirl flaps do not need to be removed to the remap. They have also offered to delete the egr and dpf filters (this includes removing the dpf, gutting it and replacing it).

my question is, would the remap and swirl flap delete without removing the flaps themselves cause any long term engine issues? Anyone had this done?
Any advice on this would be great!

I have an Audi Q5 2.0 sline 2009
