passats only got a tiny turbo and low boost  meh  both cams are going in   if it drives crap they can allways come out,    need to sort the leccy out in ws then chould grind the cams

Hmmm, would be interesting to see Nicks response to this!

The theory is night and day, when i was tuning C20LET calibra turbo engine we used to use the C20XE NA cam shaft the stock and kept the exhaust cam stock, we spent around a year dialing in the cams on adjustable pulleys, and found a sweet over lap which gace 35lbft in the midrange and around 18bhp on the peak power on my T3.

I tried a NA cam on my AUm but had starting issues, I needed to fit piper pulley and set it up correct, but never had time to do it.

My current big turbo setup will be using a AGU with out the AUM VVT fitted and using a NA inlet dialed in on a vernier.  I will let you know my results around March time.

I might pop the NA cam in TingTongs stage1 AGU next weet and dyno back to back...

Do it!

I can pick one up for £50 so not a great deal.

Piece of piss to change over too.....no need to even de-time the engine, just the cams

Just all depends how they give the power across the map....anything torque related is pretty much out the equation for me since already running the rods on high torque and not really being able to go further safely in that department. 

I guess you would have to have some adjustments to the map for a NA camshaft?

Not much in a map to chnage for a cam on a turbo car, just timing really but map changes would be down to a lot of logging and air flow logs vs power and adjustments.

I looked at a polo with a 1.8T k03s setup, actuator shut, NA cams etc...  Here's there graph:
