Richard (Simonsays) is using 296 cams from SimonAuto. Best thing I heard from him was it revved all the way round to 7.5K, :twisted: and then it spun round and went backwards into a wall. :evil:

......also david, are the cams for the turbo a 'bolt-in' type, or do they have to be timed in?

Direct replacement, so use the original timing marks.
