You have to gently tap that plate off the end of the cam

270 is also normally stamped on the cam.

Likely hood is if you havnt changed it, and your previous turbo was a t2, is that it's standard. What can you rev upto, that's will give an indication...

[j4ck-dw]

try and measure the lobe height and base circle, not all reground cams get a stamp.

[j4ck-dw]

lobe measure in aprox 30mm

you'll need something a bit more accurate than that.

do that to check your lift

measuring cam lobes can be missleading as if its a regrind the cam lobes will be smaller, you can tell between a standard and a modded as the lobes look more aggressive and steeper, view this thread for more info

that's why you measure the base circle as well.
