It was not worth the money at all in my opinion. ($600 for cams, $200 for springs, $100 for head studs, plus $550 for install=$1,450). That right there would get you real close to a stock frame turbo.

Not everyone in this thread has personal experience and are just spitting out what they hear other members suggest.

You will not feel a difference in cams unless you are severely choking out the turbo which you will not feel on a 9 with stock turbo. It may be a little bit different with the 8 though.

bang for buck turbo will see more gains than cams, although it will cost more , plus injectors and other components in the setup to run it. but as said before, if you can wait, do it all at once so its only tuned once !
