Err.. no! lol
The vernier pulleys allow you to fine tune the cam timing! with normal pulleys you can only adjust by a tooth at a time.. with with verniers you can do the fine tuning... inbetween the teeth on the the pulley. YOu will need to do this to get the maximum benefit from your new cams

Err..yes! lol
The pulleys on the 16v have the pickup for the cam sensor but the vernier pulleys dont have this pick up. Hence you cant run vernier pulleys on the 16vs with std management.

The two pulleys at the top that turn the cams can be changed to vernier pulleys without having to worry about the cam sensor

Shut up DP.
There is a lug on the exhaust cam pully that the camshaft sensor reads from. There are no lugs on any vernier pullies.
You cannot use vernier pullies with standard management.
