They look a good product but in my experience the damper will usually wear out before the bushes so you really need to change the whole unit - roughly every 60k miles.

 

Bushes only really get knackered taking the thing off and on again

Was about to say.... Wish I had seen this before I shelled out on a brand new Tensioner, but I suspect it was a better idea than just slapping in some new bushes seeing that I can compress the old one by hand but I have to get my full weight on the new one to move the bugger at all! Maybe I will pay someone to fit that for me as I dont have the 'tool'

have you tried a new belt i put a new on and it upt the boost

Also watch the size belts you get - non genuine ones are the wrong size for a standard pulley and a worn tensioner, should be a 6PK1658 but this is then way to big for a 68mm pulley which requires a 6PK1638 ideally. Crap belts also stretch, needs to be a Gates or Continental brand

Yea ive tried everything new pulley Shorter belt a charger service all from g-werks.I have also changed the intercooler pipes to the bbm ones and had the timing done oh also a new chip from g-werks too.The car is better but I still think its lacking.I get readings from the mfa of between 1040 to 1200 on idle but the boost gauge i have fitted says -0.5 on idle and about 1.2bar full throtle but it just seems slugish and im getting annoyed with it I love it but just getting to me.
