Where is the best place to buy a camshaft for the AEX engine and which is the best value for money. Are there any VW cams that will fit this engine that will increase performance. Also what power gains are to be expected from having one of these?

It does have a chip in the key because when i took it in for an ordinary key, they put it in a machine which showed them that it had a chip in it. They ordered the blank, copyed the chip and cut it.
