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).
