I'd make it fit! On YouTube, the description says:
Published on 13 Mar 2016
The belt tensioner smashs the oil pressure nipple when the engine runs in to boost cut after a burned wastegate line... E85, stock long block and manifolds, holset hx55 turbo and Maxxecu.

So basically the serp belt failed.

I took it as boost suddenly fell out and the tensioner swung past its normal bounds and took out the line.

That's how I understand it at least. Belt stayed intact, just the sudden power drop caused the tensioner to jump like it did, hitting the line.
