Will an euro intake cam give me much additional power on my 1.8 16V engine? I have a TT 2.25" cat back exhaust and a home brew, rpm dependent fuel enrichment device (adjustable for both rpm and mixture), swiss cheesed air box and the rest of the engine is stock. I've read that it might give 5 additional horsepower; is it worth the effort? I presume that installation is pretty straight forward; remove the valve cover, line up the timing markets on the cam gears, remove the bearing caps, (leave the exhaust cam and belt alone), slide out the intake cam, swap the gear and reinstall (verifying the timing). I would think it would take 2-3 hours. Am I on track or destined for disaster? I've never messed with cams or the timing belt before. James Blumenfeld 87 16V GTI
