good luck tom, if i can in anyway help with this let me know, i can source this piece pretty easily used, personally id buy a new one.
I believe the long bolt on my hydraulic tensioner got loosened, it is NOT an OEM piece, which was probably the cause. I don't know who the f*(&ck put a cheap ass bolt in there. Since it loosened, the vibration from the supercharger and the rest of the belt put too much strain on it, and it cracked off, crashing into my waterpump pulley.

22022 and shipkiller, thank you very much with your help in hunting this down. VAC motorsports in Philly will probably hook me up with a good used one. Just a freak accident with this, that had a snowball effect.

Yes, the supercharger will have to come out to service this... There goes my mod money
