I did BBQ (sauce) tenderloin tonight.  One and one-half pound tenderloin.  One cup water, one cup BBQ sauce.  I added some seasonings.  I did it for 25 minutes.  Out of the IP and seared with a torch:

Sliced:

Mr. Kim found it very dry.  I agreed that it was a bit dry, but still tasty.  Does it look overdone?  Any advice?  Did I cook it too long?  I stupidly forgot to get a temp.  I'd really like to do this again - it was so easy.  Or do I just give up on doing such a lean cut of meat IP and go with SV?  Thanks!

When I've cooked a pork loin roast, after searing the outside, I do IP manual, high, natural release, cook time 35-38 minutes.  (I use  a packaged roast, cut in half, and depending on which 1/2 I'm cooking determines the timing. One end being the leaner whiter meat/ 35  minutes... the end with the redder meat when cooking I go for 38. ) 

For a lean piece that size, I'd suggest starting at 18-19 minutes.
