If you put in a big cam you need to upgrade valve train as well to handle increased stress of more aggressive cam. Make sure you get a new timing chain, ported oil pump, and after-market under-drive pulley too.

Also, if your car is an A4 you will need a converter so that's another 1k or so with labor.
