Hello everyone,
There is a lot of info on this forum and I read a lot about camplates and pumps, but I got really confused.
I have Bosio 1019 DLC and I'm changing my 10mm element to 11mm, should I change also the camplate or there is no need, because I have small injectors - 0.216um ?
Thank you!

if you have the 11mm camplate available, then yes you should use it.

its been a while since i read up on it but i remember it being among the best camplate available for our "high speed" diesels. try to look up the comparison of de115(10mm pump) and de143(11mm pump) camplates. i think 115 had 2.8 mm of lift and 143 was 3.3 mm of lift... google to confirm

If you don't have the de143 already, don't worry about it.

They are fairly expensive when you can find them. But if you did have it already it is a no brainer to put it in.

I talked to a tuner and he told me, for 11mm and injectors with size less than 0.260 0.270 it's not worth and there will be no difference at all.
