and look at the sport 260 Hydro, it mentions not having to update the ecu and also fits mk3 2L.

I used the Auto tech 270 in a Mark 2 Gti and it was a noticeable improvement especially with the 'Euro down pipe' which you don't have to worry about with the Vento because it already has a good down pipe. I would recommend it for the Vento and if you decide to get one PM me as I have been thinking about getting another one for my wife's Vento.

I sold one of those to loon before the 8v went to TAS. Hasn't mentioned doing anything with it so worth asking.

the Autotech Sport 270° Hydro Camshaft sounds great, although it says that "Fits all 1.8L and 2.0L liter engines up to 1995 with hydraulic lifters, including crossflow heads."

sorry for sounding dumb, but, would it matter if my vento was 1996??

and would the vento need a remap/any adjustments to run the 270 cam properly? it doesnt say that its a straight swap with no adjustments, whereas the 260 cam it does

I would recommend it for the Vento and if you decide to get one PM me as I have been thinking about getting another one for my wife's Vento.

well let you know Bora Sport

I really think the 260 would be a better "all rounder" option, especially with the ever so slightly larger vento.

The 260 "might" have a better mid range improvement over a bigger cam.

As for the 95 vs 96 issue I don't know if theres a differece. Might be a US change in emissions laws that makes it illegal in a 96 onwards....

As far as I know the ADY engine is the same right through the Mark 3 Golf model so the cam would fit them all.

I'm sure it would bolt straight in and the 2.0 has so much torque down low I can't see it as being a problem. I think remapping the ECU would get the best out of the better cam but not necessary.

That means Loon should have at least 2 because Scott (Barty) traded the head off my old MK2 golf and it had the 270 cam in it. If you still have one Loon do you want to sell it and I could try it out?

The 270 with standard cam gear wasn't missing in the midrange. Was a screamer when retarded though
