So how often should the tension be checked with a torque wrench? Also, how often should the fluid be changed and how much should I add with a cooler?

I checked mine the end of the season only because I took mine apart to check condition. You will know when it is off because your boost will drop because either the belt is slipping or the ball drive is worn.

Go to harbor freight and purchase an inexpensive inch/lb torque wrench. I purchased the higher quality torque wrench for about 35 bucks and it works great! Never try and guess the inch/lb torque as a too tight ball drive will destroy your internals!

Should I get the clicking wrench or the one with the pointer?

I have both, the pointer one actually works better in the tight confines of the engine bay for checking rotating torque. Assembly I used the clicker type.

Got it to 52 in/lb with wet races/balls and all seals in. Put it on the car for initial running and it sure does put some air out now, feels like a leaf blower at idle. Now to hook up the cooler and actually hook it up to the carb now that it's blown all the trash out of it.
Can't wait,
