Factory spec or a little tighter if its spinning on high boost, are you sure you aren't hearing power steering whine from being at full lock? I HIGHLY recommend buying a belt tension gauge, you can get a cheapo krikit gauge on amazon for like $15. It's a lot cheaper than smoking belts or even worse, over-tightening and smoking bearings.

Yeah it just sounds like belt squeal from being too loose, normally you are also squealing at high rpm's though because it's too much drag on the SC pulley.
