Race Intake Camshaft 1.8T 20V

The Integrated Engineering IECVA1-2 Race Intake Camshaft is engineered for VW/Audi 1.8T 20V (06A & 058) engines, particularly those with larger aftermarket turbo setups aiming for 500-850+ horsepower. When paired with the IE IECVA1-1 Race Exhaust Camshaft or IECVA2-1 Street/Race Exhaust Camshaft, this intake camshaft provides an aggressive profile for an ideal powerband between 5500RPM and 8500+RPM. Key technical specifications include 274 degrees advertised duration, 224 degrees duration at 0.050", 0.370" lift, and a 108-degree centerline angle. The camshaft sprocket is pre-set, and it features a factory-style timing mark for straightforward installation, mirroring the stock camshaft process. Due to the increased demands on the valvetrain from larger turbos and aggressive camshafts, upgrading valve springs and retainers is highly recommended. Integrated Engineering suggests their IE 1.8T 20V Valve Spring & Retainer Kit for optimal valvetrain harmonics, safe revving, and extended cylinder head life. Factory camshafts are optimized for smaller stock turbos and low RPMs, whereas this race camshaft aligns the valvetrain with the efficient range of larger turbos, unlocking significant power gains.
