You're correct, I didn't understand that you're transplanting an NA cam into your turbo. I read too quickly and thought you were adjusting your timing and nothing more. Sorry for the chasing-your-tail information I posted.

Good day.

The n/a cams are said to be good for about 10-15hp gain depending on your set up.
We recently swapped them over to my car, and re-adjusted the timing as per the specs on ARD's website.

I am also running a blue tune in my car and am very pleased with its performance.

The N/a cams are a great upgrade for the T5 or Turbo models.
You can pull the cams from any non turbo 850 93-97 and 98 70.
The 93 cams are said to be the best of the n/a cams.
