Tumble generator valves are only there for emission controls.

You can delete them for extra flow and have the ecu tuned to suit.

It would have a huge affect it wasn't opening, you would only have approx 1/5 the runner size in the inlet manifold, they are a huge restriction if they are stuck closed. Delete and tune to suit is the answer.

What turbo is on the car? Was the horsepower comparison done on the same day or over different days?

Can you ask RT what the exact code was that was pulled to tell you the TGV's were stuffed?

RT should have done plenty of TGV deletes too if you ask them how much.
