Has anyone heard of this? Geoff from colt cams and I were recently speaking on the phone about this, he said they perform much better. Apparently Kermatdi has been experimenting with this in staff cars. 5 minute modification. I know nothing about the hydraulic operation of the lifters to comment to whether it's benefitional or catastrophic

Here is a YouTube video of how to remove the spring

The video is down right now. Do you have any more information by chance? Down the road I'd like to upgrade to a Colt cam in my 04 Jetta and if there's an upgraded lifter to try I'd be game down the line.

t;dr: the black ina lifters have a spring in them that provides an additional few thousandths of valve lash despite it being a hydraulic lifter
