Bill, what valves would you recommend.? Supertech or Ferrea.?
both are good.
I use supertech and am happy with them.. (for years)
Ferrea are good quality also..

1.8T has a "Combi Valve" in place of the traditional EGR of the TDIs. "Combi" title comes from the fact at cold engine temps it also recirculates fresh air provided by the SAI pump to the exhaust to heat up the catalytic converter.
Cam chain tensioner provides the variable valve timing by changing phase between inlet and exhaust camshafts, so the valve opening overlaps and a bit of exhaust gas remains in the cylinder after the piston has raised, before the next intake. This does the same thing as a classic EGR.
The valvetrain is the most sensitive part to lack of oil or sludging.

Emissions systems may be unneeded and parasitic additions (reasons for which people drop them, or even choose directly non-VVT heads and simplified stand-alone ECUs for an engine built from scratch).
But uncontrolled burning is never ideal, and turns quickly into detonation. On a circuit, all weather conditions are predictable, fuel is always top-notch, overfueling is welcome, emissions systems are not needed at all, car runs at WOT for much of the time and barely needs even a MAF. On the street, people may choose to be a bit prudent (or face a holed piston, a blown rod, burnt exhaust valves, or, God forbid, all of them together).

all interesting stuff but I dont get your point your trying to make?
