Found out its my tensioner thats making all the noise, did the "improve your brake feel" mod which helped a little but the pedal is just really spongy. now i need to bleed my brakes and hopefully that will make them alot better

Are you going to replace the tensioner? If so, consider doing your idler pulley as well, they always seem to go in pairs!
