Thanks stav, I'll try replacing the tensioner. The bolt really couldn't get any tighter Smile

Might not be the actual bolt or pulley just might need to get someone to apply a lot more pressure on it before tightening the centre bolt.

I had big Brian push the tensioner while I tightened the bolt so I don't think it could be tensioned any better haha! I'll try a new tensioner, its only £30 or something! haha

decided to update this Smile

Had my manifold modded so the lambda doesn't hit the side of the engine bay and heat wrapped it:

I Heat wrapped the Y-Pipe (yes I ran out but I've been and bought more):

Now my car is quite low so my Y-Pipe hits the floor ALL THE TIME so I realised that my heat wrap wont last two minutes so I made a skid plate for it!

I know the skid plate looks a bit pikey but all I had was an angle grinder and a bench vice so all the bends were made by hand! plus its only going to get bashed up so it doesn't need to be pretty! haha

I still need to drill holes in the side so I can attach it to the Y-Pipe.

Thats a job for the weekend though.

So I finished the Y-pipe:

I then fitted it along with the supercharger and the straight adapter for the SSQV Smile

I also replaced the screws in the throttle body that hold the SC and throttle cable in place. Mainly because the screws seem to round off every time I remove them and it annoyed me.

I also sorted all of the joins in my exhaust so it doesn't blow anymore Smile
