Default Cams for the 1.8t

I was poking around the net the other night and found this company that sells cams for the 1.8t. Four Seasons
I tried to email them to find out what kind of power gains can be had from them but they didnt respond. has anybody on here tried them out? or any general experience with cams?

Most dont have turbos big enough to need cams. You wont really see any gains untill you are running a gt2871r or bigger turbo

they should be near the bottom of the list. Plenty of other things will make more power than cams will.

Those needing them are the ones that max out the turbo on near 30psi. with plenty of power.

has anyone actually tried running cams on a ko3? its hard to believe that you would make 0 hp by getting new ones.

there was a company on vortex that was going to make some for a stock turbo, i think they came to their senses since no word ever on progress ever came out.

Its like adding an intake manifold with a stock turbo, not enough airflow to make a differnce. May even hurt performance

probably would have gotten a bit more power out of the audi. but the AEB is no 4g63 thats for sure. how is the new owner with the car? wondering if any changes have been made or anything.. i remember he used to post on audi zine but i havn't seen him around in a while

If jeff hadsomething besidesMIKA tuning and cams installed (and tuned for), bet he could of made another 30whp more.

the new owner is going to be selling the car. since he got it from me he did a bbk, s4 bumper, carbin fiber hood, redid some of the ic lines, and some maintence stuff. also a retune and replaced all teh vac lines. but he is selling to get a lotus elise
