197 cams.... worth the upgrade?

[Trainerbrow]

I am going to have my belts done soon, and think it would be rude not to partake in a cheeky cam swap while I am there. Mine is a ph1 172 used as a daily. Only mods being a panel filter and stainless.

What's the CS general concensous on the 197 swap? think its worth the extra cost? And I assume it would require live mapping post fit too?

The timing needs to be adjusted to get the most from them aswell, so I've read

Been covered and this will be the 50 millionth time, belts needing done - yes. Not needed - no.

You should see well over 200bhp with them.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Lol. He won't see 200, not without an RS2 anyway.

 

[MG cup]

I think that was in jest tbh

 

[Dan@SJM]

If he was yeecup I'd have known it was jesting

 

[JaredHasNoBrain]

would see probs high 180's probably, if the rs2 gives you alot from what i've read,
And if you do go ahead put something up about prices, would love to cam my daily lol

Yes.
