FLAPS Remapping in Melbourne
What is a FLAPS Remap?
FLAPS (Flap Actuator Position Sensors) are an essential component in modern vehicles, primarily found in intake manifolds, throttle bodies, and turbocharged engines. These actuators control airflow and optimize performance, emissions, and efficiency. A FLAPS remap involves recalibrating the ECU (Engine Control Unit) to disable or modify the function of the flaps, which can improve engine response, eliminate common failures, and enhance overall performance.
Why Consider a FLAPS Remap?
Many manufacturers integrate swirl flaps or intake flaps into the engine to comply with emissions regulations. However, over time, these components can become clogged, fail, or restrict airflow, leading to poor performance. A FLAPS remap helps mitigate these issues by adjusting or disabling the function of these actuators within the ECU software.
Benefits of a FLAPS Remap:
✅ Prevents Expensive Repairs – Swirl flap failures can cause engine damage. Disabling them prevents breakdowns.
✅ Improved Performance – Removing restrictions allows for better airflow and throttle response.
✅ Increased Reliability – A remap removes problematic flaps that can wear out or stick over time.
✅ Better Fuel Economy – Some vehicles experience improved efficiency due to optimized airflow.
✅ Enhanced Turbo Response – Turbocharged vehicles may experience quicker boost response and smoother power delivery.

REMAP
We fine-tune your ECU using cutting-edge technology.
05
Road test
We ensure the remap delivers optimal performance and perform final checks and quality assurance.
Common Issues with Swirl Flaps & Intake Flaps
- Failure of Actuator Motors: The motor controlling the flaps can fail, triggering fault codes and reduced power.
- Carbon Build-up: Over time, flaps get clogged with carbon deposits, restricting airflow and leading to rough idling.
- Loss of Performance: Faulty or restrictive flaps cause power loss, sluggish acceleration, and inefficient combustion.
- Check Engine Light (DTC Errors): Faulty flaps often trigger DTC error codes like P2015, P2004, P2006, causing the ECU to enter limp mode.
A FLAPS remap eliminates these issues by modifying the ECU to disable the flap actuators while keeping all other engine functions running smoothly.
