The tensioner is the same turbo or non-turbo all years. For your 86 go
see the clarke's garage site 1986 and older use an eccentric tensioner. Like the balance belt does.
Easy to see or get one here at Pelican. Check their parts listings and diagrams. It is not complicated once you see the diagrams. Clarke's is an excellent source they helped me a LOT! I am an excellent 25 year plus experienced mechanic, the 944 stuff is very different from other cars.
Check their site and look at the timing belt proceedures it will help you a ton.
I bought a complete belt and roller kit from Lindsey Racing for around $150.00 included all new rollers both belts and tensioners.
I would buy or borrow a guage, or just take it to a mechanic that has the proper tensioner gauge to be safe. Spend the labor money to be safe. The non-turbo tension is very critical. (so you found out the hard way)
