No but I'm getting noise from the tensioner. Sounds like ticking. Arms seems to be loose until the pulleys warm up and expand a tad bit. Almost goes completely away once the car is fully warm. I think if I get a belt that is a few mm shorter, it would be perfect.

Good to know. I have the replacement washer thing for the inside, but I doubt that it will do good. I might have to send in the cam sensor to GNS then.

Mine is installed (TTA) with original bolts.
Here is my update I have about 2500 miles on mine. I took the car to visit family last week 900 miles one way. No problems to report, I wasnt even mindful of the tensioner, until there were a few posts on this thread, its a nice feeling to set and forget. Although I have a bothersome oil leak from the turbo oil drain
, thats a PIA fix.....
Upon install I swapped the pulley also, I used a plastic stock replacement one so it doesn't "stick out" since I have the stock look for under hood.

Got it. I needed a 630K6. The 640 was way too long.
Same guy, Thumperrr racing is actually a very small segment of what he does. Precision machining is his 3 man outfit and they do all sorts of parts manufacturing he was showing parts he makes for large electrical motors, industrial machine parts, brackets etc.
I used a 637k6 if you go too tight with a belt it can eat up front alternator bearings. Might want to try a 635 or a 637 first.

Fyi. I missed the original buy so i bought one off ebay. I tried to install the stock pulley off of two different stock tensioners. Both of them the stock metal pulley rubs on the body of the tensioner. I think i will have to grind the body for clearance.
I put the tensioner on the bench side by side with two factory and the elevation for mounting the pulley appears to be the same so should be alignment with the belt.
This may have been pointed out already i havn't read the whole thread.

I had the RJC pulley machines ever so slightly for mine to clear. I ended up not using the tensioner due to not being able to get the 140a alternator to fit. I was rushing, so maybe it will fit when I try again

Good to know. I considered just removing material from the pulley. But i think i will remove it from the body instead. That way in the future if i have to install a new pulley (in the parking lot of an auto parts store) it will just fit.
