This only works with Bosch alternators.  The Motorola and other types that
are found have small variances in the pulley shafts that make swapping into
the Vanagon almost impossible.  But yes, the 90A and 120A A-Series
alternators by Bosch are interchangeable!

Replace your 65 amp alternator with a 90 amp Golf alternator. The only
thing different is the pulley's.
Swap pulley's---bolt in---BANG---Large voltation !!
