    '02 325xi Touring MAF issue

    Hey everyone - I've been reading my live data on my Wagon and i notice my MAF readings at full throttle seem off... the G/s seem correct around 145 g/s, but the calculated engine load at MAX redline is 58%, when normal i believe is 85%+

    I'm wondering what some potential causes are cause i do feel like the car has lost a little power
    I've replaced a few things: Disa valve, spark plugs, filters etc..

    Not sure how you are coming up with those numbers, but you can use testo to get realtime load and MAF through the BMW diag protocols.

    BMW reports load in mg/str and your car should reach around 500+- mg/str.

    Was a diagnostic scan performed? If so, codes displayed ?

    Based on post#1, I suspect cat restriction.
    Perform an exhaust backpressure test.
    Post back with #'s displayed.
