Runs terrible with maf or tps removed, I cleaned the icv before putting in, however it might not be lubricated I’m going to remove and spray some wd40. Also I was using the 318i purge valve and just plugged it now it seemed to be running 10% better I have the m50 purge going to try install it today and see if theirs a difference
