My thought is to not screw with it and just order the latest Laso pump, a pkensioner, and a gates belt. But who knows, maybe the sensor is unreliable or something. Thoughts?

A supercharger kit goes right on since you have the hood open...

My $.02, go with the PKtensioner—you’ll have peace of mind and as for the sensor… it’s defeated. Greg’s 70K mile update thread a couple weeks ago was also great to see: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...oner-test.html

Is it actually _due_ for a TB/WP? I think I'd start by measuring the belt tension and look at belt tracking and make sure there's nothing obviously wrong.

It's a sign.

Make sure you never see (or need) it again.
