I think that was in VW Power one of those months too, I remember reading it. I don't have the issue here (at school), so thanks for the refresher! On a related issue, how am I going to get more gas and air to the motor, since the cams will definitely eat up more gas? I've never seen anything in my researching that allows you to adjust fuel pressure and the like on a Motronic system.
