On a 1.8 16v the only cams that don't hurt torque is the european intake cam. I had this then went to the 256's on my scirocco. I did lose some torque over the european cam with the sricks. On a 2.0 its a different story. I say go with the euro intake cam. You can buy them new for $225 from tt. or you can have yours reground for $85 from www.deltacams.com (I've used them in the past and the service is good. ) I don't know how the regrinds are because I put the eurocam back (not the 1st one that I spoke of above. I sold that one to finance the sricks) into my scirocco then parked it. So its got like 10 miles on it....
