Hi guys, i have a 83 mk1 golf GTI, and looking to buy a new alternator for it just to keep it fresh and i have a meaty stereo in her so i don't want any probs, the gti alternator is 45amps which i want a bit biger i have read that a Audi80 (89-90) 90 amp alternator will fit straight on with the end changes to take the belt. i been on GSF to look at these but can't tell which one would work any help on this would be great. thanks everyone.
