@2000 rpm I'd -7.0bar with 256poncam. with 258poncam it is now -6.8bar @2000rpm.


I do not believe in a timing issue or leak. As for now I think going back to the 256poncam, since with the 258 change I have also changed the turbo from hks gtss to GTX2860gen II, which means i'll be unable to judge the cause of the loss in low or midrange.
I'm having as hell of a time converting values to get a feel for what everyone else is seeing vacuum wise for their cars.

-5.2 BAR is -153 Inches Mercury (which is CRAZY VACUUM compared to my -20 inches mercury)

I'm happy that I'm not the only one seeing the vacuum drop after the cam-shaft install. I'm just amazed that Tomei didn't say anything about where the car would idle at and the change in vacuum!!
