Is that for an 8v or 16v mate?

I'd stick with a Gti cam on an otherwise std Driver. To get the benefit from anything more radical you're looking at some head work, carb rejetting - if you can rejet a Pierburg - better exhaust etc etc. Added to which, like the man says, an 8V Gti cam is a £10.

the 8v gti cam is a very cheap and effective mod for a driver, well worth doing :afro:

Agreed, the 8v gti cam on a 1.6 Driver is pretty popular, and they're cheap as chips! Obviously a driver's only got one cam so a 16v cam is useless...
