Hey guys,
Can anyone help me on how to tell the difference between the stock N/A camshaft and the stock Turbo camshaft?
If you can help, I would appreciate it
Have done a search and couldn't find the answer!
Thanks

Ok I got this, the cam lobe height should be between 39.537- 39.727mm if its turbo if its na its 39.242 39.432 mm
But is there any visual markings?
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nothing on the front.
I just brought a genuine a8 un-opened motor. I had a look and they look at both ends and no marks on either end
Maybe just have to measure the lift and see what cam it is that way

Why if uv bought a "genuine unopened a8 motor" would u suspect the cam to have been changed?

Yeah, I will just take it to work and measure it. It was more of a thread to see if there was any visual differences. But thanks for the reply's guy's.
Cheers. Might do it Monday if I get the chance.
