Those swirl flaps cause more hassle than they're worth.

Can anyone tell me what size the torx security bit is for the 4 screws that hold the ally housing to the manifold itself?
I bought a set, but none fit...!
Thank you

Why not loose the the hose clip down which goes to intercooler with a 7mm and pull the whole thing up with the housing? there is also a screw there that holds the housing into a bracket, all easy to access

Should have been clearer, but I'm swapping manifolds to a non flap version. So, need to swap the ally housing between the two...

Just pull the flaps out the manifold you have. Absolutely no need to replace the manifold at all.

Have now had a proper look at those screws (with glasses on ) and have realised they are 5 pointed torx
Nodge, I've already got the 'new' manifold in stock ready...
Need to change the glow plugs at the same time as at least one has given up the ghost, so going to be a busy day...
