Anyone done the swirl flap delete? NC 2.0

I think we’re okay.

We have these plates, they look like good quality construction.

The problematic swirlflaps are found inside the plastic snail inlet, we don’t have those.
The issue is said to be the “bearings” that they used, they wear out after around 30,000 Miles/50,000km. The whole system starts to rattle and if not investigated results in the main shaft of the system snapping and falling into the engine. The flaps that are problem are also plastic, so for some reason Ford added their own flap system but seem to have done it on a budget.
