"I’m not sure why anyone would remove the alternator to get to the accumulator tank. On my 02 S the tank is right under the passenger side intake plenum."
Correct ,but for most SAI repairs there are multiple points of potential failure. Piecemeal, random replacement seldom yields a good result because of the usual Porsche problem - access. So it is often wise to test the entire system. To do that you need to remove the alternator or Intake manifold. Neither are difficult - just tedious and procedural.
Ther is a recent Youtube on this that has been mentioned.
