no. the tensioner keeps the timing belt tensioned and the pulleys are the ones the timing belt runs along

Take the valve cover off and see if it has a Kiggly OPR.
You mentioned ealier you were getting blow by in the catch. Kiggly prevents oil over load in the head, and keeps oil in the pan... you shouldn't be getting blow by under the driving conditions your describing.

OK what does the kiggly look like and it also has popped the dipstick out but I've got the spring kit on the dip stick. I've forgot to attach it to the dipstick a few days ago while I was checking the oil. It popped out under full throttle

My guess is you need one of these. Might be that the sending unit doesn't like vibration. http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/A...Unit-Line.html

Think I fixed my oil pressure problem, I changed to a thinker oil and it works fine, but my oil pressure gauge is electronic and I believe it could be acting up. Its also located at the oil filter. What's the oil pressure suppose to be in that area

What oil were you running?

I have a Greddy Oil thing before the Filter (not sure if I like it) has 2 ports (one is blocked off the other is for the Defi OP)... sounds like you have something similar.
