i would have thought an NA would be easier than a turbo as more room to work with.

heres what i would suggest/ what i did.

follow the BGB up to the point where you are putting the belt on around the cam pullys.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
This involves, in brief, the following:
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
1)line up crank and cam pullys with TDC.

2) cut belt
3) take off engine mount on drivers side.

4) loosen belts for alternator and air con.

5) take off crank aux.

pully

(this may best be done by cranking the engine over first before anything else, do a search for
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
"pully removal" on here to see what i mean)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(you may also need to take other 2 mounts off the get the engine down far enough.

6) take off bottom cam cover and take old belt out.

7) take out tensioner and see if it needs replacing, if it doesnt then youve saved yourself

slip on new belt and tensioner with allen key in
9) do up the lower cam cover and put engine mounts back on and tighten up
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Now at this stage i was getting worried as the BGB made no sense to me and i hadnt done a belt before but this is what i did:
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
10) loosen tensioner bolts to give a bit more play
11) make sure pullys are all lined up, then take exhaust cam back
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.5 of a tooth or so.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
12) put a breaker bar in the bottom pully to keep it from moving
13) pull the cambelt on the exhaust side to take up slack and place on pully.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
then crank it round to TDC so absolutly all the slack is removed.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
Only put it on the pully a tiny amount, no more than
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
.5cm
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
14) you should then be able to slip it over the inlet cam pully and idle pully without any major hassle.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
15) release allen key in the tensioner and crank over and then check timing again.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
16) if its out, which is shouldnt be, then just take off the 2 bolts on the tensioner and start the second part again
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(from point 10).
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
this part only took me 15minutes to do so its not that bad, but points 1-9 took about a day
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
(mainly becuase of removing the crank aux, pully so read up on removing this!)
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
ok i hope this helps.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
others may have a few better techniquesto do but this worked for me great
