8v Turbo Camshaft Swapping

Recommended Posts

All Praise The GTI

as above really, just taken the head off the xm turbo lump ive bought so can get valve stem oil seals changed, cam swapped new head gasket etc before i fitt it.

problem is ive got a cam out of a 306 2.0 8v XSI which is almost the same as the cat equipped cam apparrently but i dont know which pulley should be used.

the standard turbo cam has a pulley marked with an 'A' and the pulley on the xsi cam has a 'C' i think. have not counted the teeth as was dark and cold in the garage!

anyone clear this up for me so i can drop it off at the company tommorrow to do the work for me

thanks in advance

Ive just used the turbo cam pulley in the past with good results but that said I never used an Xsi cam always DKZ/DFZ
