Is the tensioner keeping a constant tension on the belt? Keeping all the slack out of it. That might be why the car is throwing for the code. It should be 1/2 inch extension length on the tensioner rod. With between 22 to 44 pound of force on the rod it should not exceed .04 inches of movement.
I just sent Troy an updated version of the ROM with bone stock timing and VVT maps. He's going to reset the ecu and give it a whirl. Maybe we'll learn something.
thanks everyone for trying to help! there's got to be a simple solution to this, it shouldn't be this difficult for Troy...hate this for him.

now back to trying to figure out what way to turn the timing belt tensioner maybe we turned it the wrong way and the force of the belt turned it back idk.... thanks for everyones help ......

exactly what i was thinking... the cam trigger will fit if installed upside down.
rotate it 180* and put it back in.
its either that or your timing belt is off a tooth. Even if not up top, you have to check the timing marks on the bottom.

on the driver side of the cams on the viii its the exhaust cam, on the ix its both cams... there is the bolt that goes into the end of the camshaft. There is a metal ring that the bolt goes thru first that has 2 tabs on it that go into the 2 notches on the camshaft. He probably has the intake one rotated 180*

its funny you say that, because i was really close to saying those exact words and left it out figuring you'd be here shortly lol. i love when people try to tell people who know better that something is a certain way. It would almost be like me trying to tell you the layout of your own house even though i have never been over there, seen any pictures or had any part in the design. Oh well, maybe soon he'll figure out the issue.
