2006 2.5i ej253 AVLS MT5 ,, yes but the cam lobe design maybe open longer duration ,, i think if you want it to run effieciently ,,it needs to be tuned. I have a new problem low oil pressure ,, and the idiot lights didn't warn me. I don't know how long it was like that. Will be draining oil to see ,, looking at pump. I must say this year model is worst,,, then the earlier models.
