1.8T NA camshaft?
« on: 19 November 2011, 19:53 »
Does it really make any difference?

Would it make any difference on my setup Nick?

I have the chance to pick one up for about £50 and fitting would be nout so no loss there.

Worth it?

its something id Like to do on the rollers though.  To see what difference it actually makes back to back.  That way, we have reliable results.

  • 20vt inlet 7.67mm lift
  • 20vt exhaust 9.3mm lift
  • 20v inlet 8.3mm lift
  • 20v exhaust 10.4mm lift

From Vortex

If You plan to use big turbo and low boost, use both cams, if You plan to use smaller turbo and high boost, use only ex cam. If You plan to use tiny turbo and ridiculous boost, use only intake cam.
