on my alfa 147 2006 the mechanic has removed the swirl, and I did cut off the axes on which they were punched butterflies, so that the lower part acts as a cap ( the mechanic did not deem it necessary to thread to put 4 pins, although I would have preferred that). Then I wrote the map I posted and diagnosis of the entry " butterfly valve flow" and fixed on the 5% even if I accelerate. While if I send the command through the actuators test instead, the value ranges from 5% to approximately 95%. So I assume that now the gears are locked and used only by the cap! However, even if I go to a p? off topic, eliminating the swirl and the 2 catalytic converters, the car goes very well, so that you lose on the low!!! Accelerator pi? sensitive and response ir? immediate. Only a p? of noise? accented why? at a minimum, the collectors are now more? open, and a bit of engine braking in the least, but imperceptible. Motor? also emphasized is given by the catalysts emptied. According to me better to put the stainless steel tubes. The council to delete these butterflies before crying an engine that maybe it was perfect before that you would aspire to the swirl!!!
