Missing Air intake flap

[mattCSLnut]

As per title, I notice a week ago that the large, plastic flap is missing from my intake (as per pic below) where it is expected to be attached to the central rod. The car seem to run VERY WELL as it is but I just wanted to ask a couple of questions about it.

a) Is this some sort of a CSL modification for more power ?

b) Should I worry about any future problems as a result of NOT having this part ?

c) What does it actually do ?

Just wondering, that's all

I thought that was the flap that opened when you pressed the sport button?

(sure someone with actual knowledge will answer this properly lol)

Loads have removed it.

First things first - does the bar move when the car hits about 3.5k rpm in sport mode? If so you can refit the flap, if not then it was remoeved as the actuator \ sensor is broken.

If it does and you need the flap drop me a pm as I've got one in the garage.

It's ONLY there for noise supression, so no problems running without it.

I'll need to check that with some assistance Would the broken sensor show up on diagnostic ?

I trust Jeff didn't remove that part (I don't think) as he would have mentioned it to me. Everything else is SUPERB with my chosen CSL. It's absolutely FAN-Bloody-Tastick THANX for caring

When I press my SPORTS button, difference can VERY much be felt, whilst on the move. It's as if someone has dabbed the loud pedal without me touching it.
