Get another intake off ebay or the TFSI Tuning group on Facebook.  The flap motor is likely kaput.

If the flap is clagged up it might transpire that you have a heavy carbon deposit on the back of the valves. You may not of course but it could be worth having the idea in the back of your mind that a clean up in there might be worthwhile at the same time.

Would that be the case of low boost and low mpg?
