Have you got the heat shield on the back of the altenator????
Sounds like the altenator is getting too hot from the heat soak from the manifold/turbo
Fitted a re-con alt on my saph last year,lasted 2 days,had a good blast and it melted the regulater off the back of the altenator
This was before I realised there is supposed to be a heat sheild on the rear of alt
Made one out of an old piece of turbo heat shield now
It could be that, The alternator is on the back of the engine and the turbo on the front
