It’s got a more aggressive profile and a centerline grind that really brings out the best in your turbo setup. Pair it with an IE intake camshaft, and you’re looking at a sweet spot for mid to larger turbo builds, ideally in the 400-600 horsepower range. The powerband? Think 4000RPM to 8000RPM’perfect for those who love to feel the pull as the revs climb.

Why You Need This Cam

Just a heads up, this exhaust cam isn’t a standalone hero. You’ll need to grab an IE intake cam to make the magic happen. Depending on what turbo you’re running, you can choose between our street/race or race intake camshafts. The design here isn’t just for show; it re-tunes the valve sequencing to sync up with your turbo’s flow and power curve while keeping your idle smooth. Yes, you read that right’smooth.

Easy Installation

This camshaft is specifically designed for the 1.8T 20V (06A & 058) engines, making installation a breeze. The cam sprocket comes pre-set for optimal performance, and it follows the same installation process as your stock cam. No need for a PhD in engineering here’just some basic tools and a bit of elbow grease.

Upgrade Your Valvetrain

Now, if you’re going to beef up your engine with this cam, don’t forget about your valve springs and retainers. When you start pushing more power and RPMs, the stock components can struggle to keep up. For the best results and to ensure your valvetrain stays happy, consider pairing this cam with an IE 1.8T 20V Valve Spring & Retainer Kit. Trust me, your engine will thank you in the long run.

Why Upgrade?

The factory camshafts in your VW/Audi 1.8T 20V are really just designed for the small stock turbo. They’re tuned for low boost and low RPMs, which doesn’t cut it when you’re looking to crank up the boost and revs. By upgrading, you’re aligning your valvetrain with your turbo's efficient range, which means instant power gains when done right. It’s all about getting the most out of your setup.
