This Runner Flap Delete Kit removes the restrictive intake flaps (runner flaps) from the intake manifold of 2.0 TFSI EA888 engines. The standard plastic flaps regulate airflow but also act as a restriction – even when fully open.
With this kit, you replace the flap construction with solid plates, optimizing airflow to the engine. This results in improved performance, especially at higher RPMs and for tuning applications.
Advantages
• Improved airflow in the intake manifold
• Less restriction than OEM flaps
• Better performance at higher RPMs
• Ideal for tuning and stage builds
• Elimination of potential flap malfunctions
• More consistent air supply

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a flap delete do?
It removes restrictions in the intake system for better airflow.
Does this give more power?
Yes, especially at higher RPMs and with tuning.
Are there any disadvantages?
Yes – possibly less torque at low RPMs and error codes without software modification.
Is this plug & play?
Mechanically yes, but software tuning is often necessary.
