[QUOTE="2V Terror, post: 15039049, member: 175309"] Pipe wrench is the way to go. If you do it properly you won't chew up the tensioner that bad. I've done it several times. Make sure the pipe wrench is at least 14". With that size you will have to open it all the way. And if you wrap some piping or tape around it then you won't chew up the tensioner. Even if you do chew it up, it won't affect the function of it. If you're not making any boost at all then you either have a massive boost leak somewhere or the blower is spent or the belt is done. Or, if you missed second and over-revved and do not have a rev limiter on, then you might have some internal engine damage. Are you absolutely sure the engine is not missing or running rough? Can you post a video? Did you check all the vacuum lines including the lines that go to the EGR, the back of the upper plenum, the sensor that connects to the EGR, etc? [/QUOTE]
