Cams
Is there any mild cams out there that I can use with a GT2871r elim? I'm looking for some mild cams to maybe put it. I have my whole engine apart for all kinds of gaskets and maintenance and it would be a nice time to throw in some cams

Have you read that thread? Seems like cams are pointless to me... but i dunno.
Also, unless you have the head off, im pretty sure it would be a huge pain in the *** to switchthe camsout, right?

might want to look into some N/A 1.8t cams. the way audi engineer's work, there might be something there, but i've never seen anything.
try vortex

RE: Cams
cams are going to help keep the tq from falling off. With a gt28 turbin wheel, the rpms arent really long enough for full benifit. Sure you will see some increase, but not as much as with a larger gt30 series turbo. Guessing some mild cat cams (qedpower.com) would only net about 10-20whp.

RE: Cams
right. it's really just going to shift the powerband up the rev range a bit.. and with the constricting flow of the elim exhaust housing, i wouldn't see it gaining more than 10whp peak.. if it was a full t25 gt2871r, then i'd suspect maybe 20 or more whp, and would think it would be worth it. but i just don't think it would be worth it for this turbo

w/o tuning, your not going to see anything. Plus there will be other cost incurred when install them. Unless you plan on a gt30XX turbo, dont waste your time or money
