Default Tensioning Kevlar Timing Belt

Does anyone have experience with installing the new-type kevlar timing belt as offered by Rennbay, and probably others? Specifically, I am wondering if the Porsche tensioning gauge can be used and if the values are the same. Thanks.

Values and tensioning methods are exactly the same as the OEM belt.

Well, you can certainly use the same gauge and because no note was made about a new spec I am sure that you would still use the factory spec. However, if your like me and over tension the factory belt by a small amount to account for break in stretch I am sure the same should not be needed with the kevlar belt.
