A few tips from your engine bay
Those red and black marine battery terminals need to be replaced. They cause more problems than they are worth and yours are already looking crusty. Yes you need to do them, it is causing your battery to be under charged and putting extra stress on your alternator.
Car has a 6 bolt valve cover, not a big deal, but could indicate other past problems. Also the eBay turbo and being stock everywhere else, makes me think previous owner was chasing down a smoking problem and an over heating problem (coolant flush fitting) and that the car possibly has a used cylinder head installed on it.
Id bet on the factory head bolts being re torqued wrong on the used head that was installed. (But that's a pretty far hunch based on just the valve cover heater hose flusher and turbo)
