Thanks Dave, you may recall this post and like you say, it depends on what position if fails but in this case t'was the power VIS

2. To improve torque in the medium range the balance valve is opened while the power valve remains closed. Max torque is now reached at 3750 rpm (2.5 ltr) and 4000 rpm (2.0 ltr).
3. At higher engine speeds both the balance and power valve are open. Achieving now a range of torque upwards from 4000 rpm to a maximum of 6250 rpm (2.5) and 6500 rpm (2.0).
Thank you for this Mike. It's almost the same as RAVE including, according to our tests and observations, giving the state of the flaps incorrectly in all three paragraphs!

Really the official version of how the inlet tracts work is not very helpful at all. I think we all share your confusion Mike!
