    Hi,

    I had mine mapped out by my tuner as I kept getting the annoying check light. Run approx 10,000kms after that and found no issues with the car after that.

    The swirl flaps in the manifold are designed to create a specified amount of air turbulence and by opening and closing which improve fuel mixture. The swirl flaps are located insight the manifold and they might be a problem later on fail and be ingested into the engine. So by leaving them not repaired you taking own risk.

    I can't there are 8 pages on this topic.
    Basically yes you can map them out. There is no difference in MPG or performance - In fact its improved from what I've seen in some cases.

    I've removed them from many cars now and all run perfectly fine.

    Cheers
