i own a 20v 1.8t

i was wondering what you guys think about a set of cams...what would i gain? does the idle sound different with aftermarket cams?...do i need a new tune with new cams?

and the adustable cam gear im looking at is an easy way to adjust timing for us without tuning....what could this help with?..stronger idle?..easier tuning for more boost or for water/meth?

telll me what your views are and the rough cost of a set of cams...oh...and what cams to get

thanks

 

until your running a turbo making over 350whp, you dont need to worry about cams. Thats as far in this coversation im going since i know you wont ever get to the point of running them

/THREAD

 

well i actually am going BT...so i want the advice on the cams b/c im buying them before my turbo...dont care what you say.. i want a little lope in my ide and i wanna be ready for my BT

so again...what can these do..and what cams are good for the 1.8t's?

and what about the cam gear on stock cams?

 

they should be the last thing you worry about. Stop trying to waste money on things you dont need. If you want a loopy idle, get a V8

 

i didnt ask for the opinion of others i asked for IF i did it what should i go with

and what can a cam gear do for me?

 

you seriously have to be the dumbest person on the forum hands down. First you should buy and install a turbo kit before wasteing money on things that will get you 0 gains and cost $1500. There are people making 500whp on 3076r's w/o cams. What does that tell you? Well since i know your going to get it wrong, ill tell you. It means you dont need them to make huge numbers. There is plenty of other things you should be spending your money on and cams is far from it.

 

ok...but now my main question is the adjustable cam gear...isnt that a helpful peice?

 

nope.

 

not even for adjusting your timing?...like once you put an fmic on or meth injection?

 

still wont help
