I'm in the same boat. My stock tensioner is going, and the pully is spent. I'm ordering the ASP next week, they're out right now, and am thinking of going to the Katech. Everyone like it??!

I love mine.. its VERY well made and easy to use.. I had the tensioner squeek but not anymore <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

You can see it in this picture.. if anything it sure looks better than the stock one <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

If your car is built up then it should also help keep you from throwing a belt at high RPM.. hey if its good enough for the C5R then its good enough for me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Its a well built piece. I use it along with the ASP pulley...another good piece.

Works well, and I guess I'm old school...I like being able to set the tension on my belt myself.
