Rich its already there mate I wired it in.
Go to 6pin connector near ecu pin 4 (org/blue). Maybe Mark did not put the switch in , but its certainly there on all Vipec cars .

Sorry Rich but there is every point. I changed the bushes in my beam and had shims put in and the difference was night and day. For the sake of Ł50 and a couple of hrs work you would be stupid not to do it.

I would be very surprised if Mark sold just a cam(s) without the rest of the engine !
