    I am looking for a nice fast road cam for my Golf. All I can really find is a Corrado G60 cam which will fit but am wondering if there are many others out there?

    Its an 8v 2.0 Mk4 Golf GTI


    Any suggestions are appreciated

    varies on the lift and duration of the cam. and how the ECU detects it. It is advisable to get a remap of the ECU after fitting cams for them to work most efficiently
