it will not blow your motor. it is just a tensioner. i wouldn't drive it because the belts could break and you could break the alternator if it came loose. i don't know the part number but if you go to the dealerships and show them the same diagram they could het it for you.
As long as you don't loosen the nut that locks the alternator in place it wont be an issue. That bolt just brings the tension up to where you want it and then you lock it down with the one on the side which relieves the tensioner of its duty.
