I heard that an 8 valve VW cam gear will fit my old 5cyl Audi. Does anybody have an adjustable VW cam gear laying around I could buy ..or steal..??

lets you advance/retard your cam timing by small increments.

I have one, bolted to my old 8v engine... what's it worth to you? They aren't really even that expensive new:

$70 from techtonics (this is the one I have)
http://www.techtonicstuning.com/showpart.asp?partnum=109.060R

$109 from autotech
http://www.autotech.com/prod_engine_camgears.htm#acs

Looks like bildon sells the autotech one for $95, or a different one for $99
