Pumping sound 900 1994

You could try to splash some water on the belts. They can make surprisingly different sounds when aging and the water usually quiets them for some seconds.
A long screwdriver used as a stethoscope is also usable for locating sounds under the hood. Hold the end against for instance the generator and press your ear against the handle and you'll pickup the mechanical sounds. Be careful though where your poking...
Other interresting parts to listen to are the servo pump, timing belt tensioner (accessible if you remove the rubber plug on front of engine if I remember correctly), and in your case of course the turbo itself.
