There are two belts: timing belt, plus balance belt... while you're in there, I'd do tensioners (2) and check those oil seals for leakage. Water pump would also be a good idea, as well as accessory belts. Cost me about $400 for the parts, but I did it myself. And my money is different from yours... Wink

From the factory, it boosts up to 12 psi. Not sure what it can take...
