    Hi there.. yeh i had one on my MK1 years ago... I think i still have it at home? maybe?.. im pretty sure i didnt sell it... will have a look and let you know...

    But yeh they are good... allowing a few degrees advance or retard..depending on what your after.. torque down low or up higher in the rev range.....

    like i said will have a look 4 ya.. mario.

    thanks mate...

    did u use it wit an aftermarket cam or with stock

    at the moment, this lumpy cam that i got is really good for the top end, but im not much of a rever so shifting the power down lower would be great for me

    Hi there.. i used an aftermarket cam.. cant tell you the facts... Lift/duration as i cant remember.. but yeh, good power increase... I may still have the cam too.. i do remember seeing one a few weeks ago all wrapped up.. i take it you are after one for your MK1?.. are you going to run Twin side drafts or a single.... Single is better up to about 5500rpm, then you do see the diff with the twins above that too about 9000-9500rpm..
    i used twin side draft 40mm delorto's... i should still have these somewhere too but i cant find them....ARRRRHHHH!!!.
