The Problem
The ball joints on the swirl flaps can wear to excess rendering the swirl flaps un-functional also the seal on the swirl flaps can fail causing inlet manifold air leaks.
It is a very common fault for the swirl flap operating rod bushes to wear down and for the operating rod to pop off causing these symptoms, this can easily be rectified with our replacement improved design operating rod which can be purchased in our eBay store.
Unfortunately on occasions the ball joints on the swirl flaps which this rod connects to can be too worn to repair with a new rod, alternatively the seals on the swirl flaps on occasions fail and cause air leaks. Previously this necessitated the replacement of the whole intake manifold at vast expense. However using our blanking kit the swirl flaps can be removed and blanked off allowing you to repair the manifold you have; saving the cost of a new manifold and preventing any future swirl flap issues.
Symptoms of the fault
Engine management light (EML) lit, high fuel consumption, rough idling, rough running, poor power and torque, smoking from exhaust, error P2279-11 Intake system air leak,P2075 fault code.

Our solution
Remove the swirl flaps from the inlet manifold and blank off using our kit; eliminate swirl flap faults without having to buy a complete new intake manifold.
Our unique design kit allows you to blank off the swirl flaps on your original intake manifold resolving swirl flap faults permanently. Our blanks are precision engineered from billet aluminium and are fitted with a Viton O ring to ensure a good seal, a far better alternative to pressed parts which can fail to seal.
A cost effective alternative to a whole new manifold which would likely fail again. Save the cost of a new manifold and prevent any further swirl flap issues. Some of our customers have installed our blanks as a preventative measure to avoid swirl flap issues further down the line and some customers have experienced performance gains from removing the swirl flaps.
You will receive
4X Large cnc machined billet aluminium blanks (fitted with high quality Viton O-ring)
1X Small cnc machined billet aluminium blank (fitted with high quality Viton O-ring)
1X Adhesive to secure the blanks
