    n/a cam timing for the t5

    ok so I know this subject has been done to death but.........is it really worth sourcing some n/a cams (again) and what would the timing be? ive got the cams out of mine as we needed the cam cover for my dads (long story) and im reluctant to just put the standard cams back in,its not everyday ill have the cover off so n/a cams? or is there another worthy but similar priced pair I could use?


    full respray..plenty of body mods..comets..ray cat back noise pipe..decat and wrapped downpipe..me7 exhaust manifold..3" throttle body with ported inlet manifold..blue injectors..adjustable fuel reg..reverse intercooler pipework..19t..open cone air filter..255 fuel pump..m-r-p short shift..boost gauge..unknown remap..adjustable suspension..lightweight crank pulley..n/a cams..stripped out interior..and a heavy right foot

    I think n/a cams are supposed to make the engine rev higher,

    Are you on about high-lift cams? If so, pretty sue ECU will learn wider openingtimes and auto-adjust. Volvo seems to have its own rules tho lol
