Did it yesterday stock belts and all. Only thing is you have to find a bolt and nut that will fit thourgh the tensioning bracket and boom you can use everything else as far as hardware and to wire it up it is splice and twist job.
Crusing around with nothing on im getting 15.3 volts. With Lights, Ac, & Wipers on low im getting 14.1 idel 14.9 moving. With stereo on I get around 13.5 but with the bass low. This is the mose cost effective alternator upgrade out there My reccomends to all S4 owners. Look at the pics
Check up the upgraded cables.

Nice. Does that alt. come in any other cars?
Did you get yours new? Where did you get the connector?

It was easy as taking a dump after getting exlax poured into your latte LOL.
The guy I bought it from Silverrotor on the "evil" board was running a deal I got it new for $165 Shipped. It came with the connector but it must have fallen off the alternator and got a lil banged up. 40% of the out side plastic and 1 inner conectors plastic was damaged. Still worked though
The only part that I was like damn I am not going to be able to put it in today was the top bolt but I found an adequate replacement. check the pic

how do you know his are on backwards? if you're talking about the notches, some are on the inside of the belt, whereas some are on the outside...I have the same belts he has, with the notched flat side outside, and the solid V on the inside...I previously had one that had a notched V on the inside, and a smooth flat outside
make sense?
