Once I ve dismantled the valve I saw what a mess is this system, you guys cant immagine how dirty it was. So I was even more convinced to close it.
I ve cutted and shaped a blank sheet alluminum plate of 1 mm thickness.I was immediately happy when I tried the car , in my opinion I ve gained some more torque at the low Rpm, and in general the car is much more linear.

Extra thanks to Tex for showing us how it could be done even better:
Consider also this much shorter thread which may be a better quick reference guide:
