but the belt tension had pulled the alternator downwards and crimped the feed line. I guess the tension bolt hadn't been tight enough, or it needs some friction washers. Blowing through the hose it was easy to feel the restriction caused by the crimp. Excellent! I love it when you find a definitive cause like that.

Great find John.  That makes me feel better for your safety, and everyone else who's using a stock turbo.
