P2006 Cel ok to bypass?

[Rh2racing]

Ok so with the cel p2006 intake tumblers stuck closed, is it ok to rig it si they are always open? I know some people delete them. Mine is a different issue. The screw holding the plunger broke off in the threads. I think the previous owner was monkeying around with it. Would it be ok to just rig it so it's always open? I understand it may trigger a p2007or something but I'm trying to get my speed back to running. I'll deal with that later.

as a temporary option, you can just attach them open for now and drill the broken screw later....
the vtcs close half of the intake path at low rpm, i read it would increase low end torque. When it is stuck close i did experience a lost in max power but never tried to force them open.... Many run without them when they are in need of more intake flow with large turbos....

The part that goes down that the sensor rides on, is that the actuator that holds the vtcs open? (Where the arm is)

The pale green doohickey with the plastic plunger arm is the VTCS actuator (the thing that moves the arm of the VTCS flapper).

this is the actuator but after a second look, i think the bad screw just hold the limit switch feedback that tell the ecm if the vtcs are open or closed. you could even drill a third screw in the middle if you cannot get the other one out, it doesn't take much clamping force to keep it there....

You have a couple of options. You can either drill out the screw and re-mount the limit switch bracket (and the switch) using that first hole, or use the secondary screw hole (in the foreground of your picture) to mount the limit switch without using the first hole at all.

Here's a post in a thread about fixing P2006 on our cars.
