In the future you're going to see the serpentine belt go away. Everything will be electric motor driven. WP, PS and A/C comperssor will already be electric motor driven, not just the water pump. You're already seeing electric assist steering. I've have seen Lexus go backwards by doing away with their electric fans and pipe hydraulic fluid from the power steering pump to the radiator cooling fans to spin them. Crazy! This all means you'll only have one short belt to spin the alternator and if they can figure out a way to mount the alternator on the end of the crankshaft where the pulley that spins the serpentine belt is currently located you won't even need that one.

Alright, to answer my own question above, the Katech or any other "truck" tensioner will not work. Need one for a car to bolt on to the EWP.
But, now I'm wondering, is there anything else needed for the Meziere 55gpm EWP to hook it up that is not included???
What's up with thermostat???
Also, is there a separate wiring relay harness needed that is not included?
