Runner flaps fitted within the inlet manifold on Audi and VW 2.0 TFSI vehicles restrict airflow limiting performance. Our kit allows you to completely remove this system, vastly improving airflow; allowing better tuning and preventing failure of the runner flap components.
The Problem
The runner flaps within the inlet manifold limit airflow and performance.
The factory fitted inlet manifolds on EA113 engines have runner flaps fitted within. Much like throttle body flaps these open and close to adjust airflow. These ultimately restrict airflow, even when fully open airflow is restricted. This becomes an issue the more the vehicle is tuned. Carbon can also build up on these moving parts providing more restriction and can in some cases cause failure of the moving parts within the manifold.
Symptoms of the fault
If the runner flaps are operating correctly there will likely be no symptoms of a fault. The benefits will only be realised when the runners are removed; improving airflow. If the runners are faulty or carbon build ups have formed this can affect vehicle performance.
Vehicles affected and compatibility
2.0T FSI EA113 engines:
Audi TT MK2 2007+ (From 57 plate) 2.0T FSI
Audi TTS MK2 2008+ 2.0T FSI
Audi A3 MK1 2005-2013 2.0T FSI
Audi A4 B7 2005-2008 (From 55 plate) 2.0T FSI (FWD)
Audi A4 B7 2005-2008 (From 55 plate) 2.0T FSI (Quattro)
VW Passat B6 2006-2011 2.0T FSI
VW Jetta MK5 2005-2010 (From 55 plate) 2.0T FSI
VW Golf/GTI MK5 2006-2009 2.0T FSI
VW R Models MK6 R 2011+ 2.0T FSI
Our solution
Remove the runner flaps using our kit to improve airflow in the inlet manifold.
Remove the runner flaps completely from the manifold using our kit. Our precision engineered CNC billet aluminium parts allow you to remove the runner flaps. Our parts replace the runner bearing blocks and the crank arm; sealing the manifold and vastly improving airflow. Ideal for stock vehicles to improve airflow and prevent carbon build up- even better for tuned engines. Customers with tuned engines have noted quicker throttle response, less turbo lag, improved torque and BHP gains when deleting the runner flaps.
You will receive
X4 Left hand bearing block blanks
X4 Right hand bearing block blanks
1X Crank arm blank
1X Manifold gasket
