Loss of torque is what I guessed.
But by how much?
Are we really talking anything noticeable here?
Can anybody actually speak from experience?
Call me old fashioned, but I've owned/driven plenty of cars that don't have fancy inlet manifolds, and they are all perfectly drivable.
Also, surely the car will drive much better without VIS compared to an inlet with a faulty VIS?
If I was to make a total guess here, surely the power will still be pretty much the same, with the only noticeable difference being that there will no longer be the 'kick' you feel when the inlet VIS motors opens fully?
Basically, you lose the kick, but only because the power now gains in a more traditional manner.
Or am I totally off base here?
