Has anyone ever fitted a different camshaft to a 2006 42TDi GU, to modify the cam timing. Is this a Mod that is considered???

I'd like to know about cams for td42's also. A mates dad reckoned he had a high torqe cam in one but I've never heard of anyone else talk about it.

One of my mates has a fairly stupid td42 with custom cams in it and it has worked quiet well. I haven't heard of anyone else doing it though you might have to get some custom one made up. His td42 made abit over 900nm at the rears.

I looked at this too, but general concensus was do exhaust, boost controller, turbo, intercooler mods before you start digging around in the engine changing cams.

When I asked them Joel at PGS and Andy at Dieseltech here in Vic both agreed with this approach. A cam may boost power, but generally at the loss of power spread and driveability.
