I dont have my manual here in front of me but you count the same number of links on both the drivers and passengers sides and I beleive it is 16. The reason you hear of 1 link difference from the drivers side to the passenger is due to the way the drivers side intake cam timing mark is stamped. The timing mark on that cam is stamped on the peak of a tooth and not a valley so technicaly it could be correct on either side of the mark as you cant line it up exactly on the 16th tooth. Be sure when you line up that tooth that you do so with the mark to the left side of the tooth if you are standing in front of the motor looking back. The car will run fine with it lined up on either side but if it is lined up to the right side of that peak the ecm will kick a code for improbable cam position. I learned this one the hard way and had to tear mine back down to move the chain one tooth to resolve the code issue.
if you do a little searching over at Audiworld there is a nice write up with good pics about this issue.
