S5 NA alternator into S5 TII.
 

As the title says, im attempting to re use the alternator on my S5 turbo motor from my S5 NA. Problem im running into is the post that sticks out of the top of the alternator is making contact with the intercooler.

Searching has not yielded many results aside from the fact there are minor differences but they are interchangeable. This intercooler does not want to fit on normally because of the post on the alternator hitting.

Any ideas?

grind the nub off the post and reclock it or take it off completely and isolate and mount the charge wire directly to that mounting stud(obvious care required since the battery wire will be very close to the case. you could also accomplish this by hacking up the extension pole and using it as an isolator).

Nub dremeled out, post re clocked to the right, it now clears the intercooler. Picture included for gratitude and to help any future members. Thanks for the help!!https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx7...92456ddf2.jpegNub dremeled off, Tapped the post to move it to the right. Now clears the intercooler!

happy ending

So far! Thanks for chiming in!

but no massage?....what a Jip!

its Gyp,

gyp (v.)

also gip, "to cheat, swindle," 1889, American English, traditionally derived from Gypsy(n.). Gyp/gip/jip is attested from 1794 as university slang for a servant that waited on students in their halls. This is said to have been especially a Cambridge word, and a story told there derived it from Greek gyps "vulture," in reference to thievish habits of the servants.

As a noun, "fraudulent action, a cheat," by 1914. Gypsy's abbreviated form Gip, Gyp is attested from 1840. Gypping or gipping was a term late 19c. among horse dealers for tricks such as painting the animal's gray hairs brown, puffing the gums, etc. Related: Gypped.
