Default Dual Elec. Cut outs...PROBLEM!!

I got dual MPP2 and the motor fell out of one of the plates. So now it does work, but the problem is one plate is closed and one plate is open. Sound awesome, but is this bad on the engine to have one side breathing better than the other?

i would think so, . . or try this, . . run around for 30 minutes non stop till you can't breathe and stick some tissue in your right nostril and try to exhale and inhale using only your left nostril

Run them both closed until you get the one broken one fixed. I assume they are installed after the headers and not both in the y-pipe, correct? Having one open and one closed will really confuse the computer and may harm the motor having more backpressure on one back than the other.
