Exhaust cam gears

Just wondering if anyone has tried it knows if you can run the urd cam gears with out getting ucon? Will it throw any timing codes?

 

You can run the cam gears without the APR x1 or Ucon. But you should not run either ecu without the cam gears

 

Has anyone done it?

 

I don't think you'll notice any change.

 

I have for well over 3 years... Let alone many others on xru

 

Do you think it's worth it?

 

I'm not sure... I ran the Ucon for many years helping Scott with data logs and trouble shooting codes when it first came out. It's been almost 8 years since I ran the TRD reflash with no cam gears so my memory is fuzzy. Allan Phillips would know better than most since he invented them lol and actually would give you an honest answer.
