Sport Exhaust Camshaft GT – Volkswagen 2.0 16V DOHC (22290)

Improve the performance of your Volkswagen 2.0 16V DOHC engine with a GT-type sport exhaust camshaft designed to support better exhaust gas flow, improved engine breathing, and a more dynamic performance character. This camshaft is intended for performance-oriented 16V builds where optimized valve timing and hydraulic valve clearance compensation are required.

Thanks to increased cam lift and extended valve opening duration compared to the factory specification, the camshaft supports more efficient cylinder evacuation and improved gas exchange. It helps sharpen engine response, increase performance potential, and deliver a sportier driving character across the RPM range.
