How much is that option?

Well, from what I remember the cam roller conversion kit is more expensive, at least.

Interesting. Is the cam lobe optional? Or is there any reason this follower wouldn't work well with a healthy OEM cam?
I'm just thinking along the lines of the OEM setup:
OEM follower is softer than the OEM cam, therefore the follower wears, not the cam. Replace follower before it gets too worn.
But this setup (hypothetical) :
New follower is harder than the OEM cam, therefore cam wears, not follower. Issue.
Or am I wrong?!

That's correct, hence the harder cam lobe included in the kit too. :smiley:
Not sure if Stattler would sell just the cam follower, keeping in mind the consequently cam lobe wear.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've had a Loba pump in for a few months now (with new follower) and I'll be checking the follower some day soon.
I'll have to weigh up which option makes more sense based on how fast it's wearing. It's good to have this option, whatever happens :)
Tfsi_Mike:
I have a new follower, a 500 mile old follower and 3 titanium hpfp bolts going spare now

You'd be able to get 7-8 Cam followers for the price of the Statller kit.
Unless you have a complete cam failure i can't see the justification
Glad your kit went in OK mike
can't wait for your clutch... ;)

Yeah, my current setup isn't pushed enough to think about upgrading the cam follower. With stronger FPRV than the RS4's, you might consider upgrading it.
