Looks like the plastic tube has broken off the air flap actuator you could try and glue it or just plug up the rubber hose. If you glue it check for air leaks.

I actually had it while back just forgot to mention it. And I'm in "mechanic" mode so figured I'd ask. Someone somewhere meantion the loss of low end torgue with flap being open... I can always use low end torgue tho...
