Chris mcneeley Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Why I cut the flaps. I can just refill and tap the hole and but the stock flaps back in. I don't want horsepower, I want the car to fight 3 alternator under full load at idle. Was my understanding that these act as a choke in the cold but also are not fully open at idle and cause restriction. The plastic tumblers confused the sh*t out of me since they literally sit in place and bounce around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The idea is to induce a random swirl to mix the air/fuel better at low rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The restriction also increases the air speed which helps low rpm operation. This where is bigger is not always better. It seems like the engine was modified to do the opposite of what your looking to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris mcneeley Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 I get that but I figured since ill be idling at 1500rpm those flaps won't be shutish anyways at that rpm. Lol only one way to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 You also need to be aware the throttle position isn't always linear. I don't know how it works at a low rpm like 1500 but wot isn't always 100% throttle position. Just something to be aware of.

Perscitus Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 As others have pointed out TGVs on Subarus (recent/current gen) have a lot of baked in dependencies in the ECU mappings and microcode routines. Unless you find and define any and all related tables and set them up just right for TGVless operation (upper, lower TGVs), you will cause more issues this way... idle stability issues, warm up issues startup even, low end torque, etc. And even when supposedly fully accounted for, lots of VA WRXs for example exhibit all tupes of issues and quirks caused by TGV deletes. Evrn on those turbo cars, totally not worth it.

Chris mcneeley Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Well, I got paranoid and ordered the oem screws that hold the butterflys in place and will put them back in, still will try without it first just out of curoiusity both with the plastic ones in and out too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
