Well as my graph showed it made a good improvement, and all I had was panel filter, cat back exhaust and modified air box.

Does any one know off hand if the MK2 8v and MK3 8v are interchangeable?   A lot seem to be listed for MK2 and iirc the the MK2 one fits the MK3 so can i fit one made for a MK2 8v ok?

Don't think a mk2 cam would work or fit, PB engine is a lot different to a 2.0 mk3 lump.

Oh right, i thought people used the PB Cam in the 2E/AGG ?  Or is that the whole head?

Although im not wanting to use a PB cam but an uprated cam to fit a PB?

Not sure, I would think it is different but I could be wrong

Does the AGG have a cam bearing missing the same as a PB

Though the mk2 and mk3 8v engines were very similar? Just the stroke changed to give 200cc more and a few other fancy bits? I'm not whether a mk2 cam would fit a mk3 head, but I wouldn't see a reason why it wouldn't.

What's your budget on the cam dude?

Its not high, i know some cams direct from suppliers are £300 ish and im looking for the £160-£180 mark max,  Hence why i would go for a second hand one,  but there are a few Newman cams on ebay within my price range.
