Supercharger tensioner issue??!??!?

Hi all iv been suffering a little rattle now for 2 days only when i am under throttle sounds like a fast tapping and is only ever when the car is under load so i checked tonight and found only half a hole on my tensioner now i was wondering does this mean i need a new belt or both belt and tensioner and also does it sound like this could be my problem??
Thankyouuuu

Are you sure its not detonating, what mileage has it done? what fuel are you running?

We had a Cooper S in a couple of weeks ago which was detonating like that.

1/2 a hole showing is not ideal but its okay, if it was the tensioner it should be making a noise all the time rather than under load.
