for the outback 2000+..would anybody know if the pulley idler with "teeth" are the same size etc when comparing visually between the N/A and turbo cogged idler

I'm assuming you're talking for the timing belt?

 

What years specifically are you wanting to know. They should be the same....

sorry ..and yes, timing belts..on the 2004+ OB's have have a non-turbo and a turbo version of the cogged pulley..of course the turbo is more expensive, but I don't know why...there is no mention if the turbo toothed wheel has double bearings

I guess the thing I'm not following is that there is no turbo engines on the Legacy/Outback cars in 2004. In 2005 the new generation Legacy was introduced, which did have the turbo motor.

 

What year and model is the car you're wanting this idler for?

First of all, thanks for taking an interest here..but I think I have this confusion figured out..I am slowly buying the neccessary parts to do the timeing belt exchange...I just wanted to make sure that I had the upgraded pulleys for my '01 outback 2.5..some venders make no mention of the interchangability of the pulleys for upgrading , while others will only sell the upgraded pulleys and have considered the old part #'s as redundant...so as far as I understand, all 3 pulleys (2 smooth, 1 cogged plus 1 new bolt) from a 2005 2.5 Turbo will fit my car

Ok, I understand what you're trying to do.

 

Thanks for the clarification.
