Cv Joint Differences

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

Right guys, been changing over one of my cv joints today, and when it's been in bits, noticed that my old cv joint is a bit different to my replacement ones.

Also noticed it has a 30 spline count any info I've found on here suggests it should be a 23 inner spline count?

Pics for comparrison:

As just wondering if the previous owner might have swapped the shafts with a n/a version or something? Also the new cv's have what looks a bit like a small abs pick up ring, they aren't and again my old one didn't have it.

Any ideas guys or will it be fine?

im pretty sure the turbo is a 30 spline count and the na is the lower number mate,

the 30 spline wont fit into a gearbox for the 23 spline count if that makes sense

if the 23 spline count is for a n/a then the gearbox off my old 4efte engine is an n/a :S
