I used the larger (76mm) idler pulley for my 69mm drive - fits perfectly, and less chance of the tensioner bottoming out :)

I think the HD is midway in quality between the standard and the RB (blue). You can get K061015 in RB, but not the K061010.

Ethanol content using the Torque app?
Is the "Custom Map P" parameter readable from other OBD readers such as the Torque Pro app? If so, what scaling should be used?
