Hey guys first off searched already and i found a lot of helpful post from mistabone , timmay , etc. but i never really found a straight answer, so i'm looking to do this "cam swap" over the weekend and i'm wondering what all is needed for the camshaft to run properly what i mean by that is

1) i know you need a Y7/Y8 cam gear, can you use the oem one ? i see everyone talking about adj. cam gears but will the oem work ? ...

2) I also read up theirs a belt difference between the a6 and b7 (106 teeth compared to 107 teeth, if i remember correctly) so my question is do i have to go out and by the a6 belt or is the b7 belt fine ?

well if you guys could get back to me bring your flames on i'm ready ...

or you guys could just be helpful ...

thanks in advance

- Justin

lol use the d16y7/y8 cam gear and the a6 cam and set your ignition timing.

there's no need to change the timing belts, d15 block is shorter than the d16 block, so it has a shorter timing belt
