    IT rules allow the ports to be cleaned up 1" in from the gasket surface. Nothing else in the head should be touched.

    The ITCS shows that car to be eligible as a "87-89" year, so there IS NO later GTI from which legal cams could be sourced. If they are out of the 2.0 (the '91-92 model), they are NOT OK.

    PS - If you buy it, you'll want to ditch the illegal rear spoiler, too.

    And there is no difference in the cams between the 1.8 87-89 car and the 2.0 90-92 car anyhow.

    There is a difference in cylinder head though.

    It is common to swap in the stock European spec intake cam for gains.

    edit - yeah the rear spoiler is non-functional and illegal to my eye. Looks like a Scirocco 16v deck spoiler....
