That's correct - FD alternator is rated at 100A. For a swap into an S5, the wiring is plug & play. Wiring into an S4 requires some mods, and I've seen that discussed on the other forum.

What I don't know and would like to find out for myself is can you swap the FC alternator pulley over to an FD alternator without any machine shop work? FC's are v-belt, FDs have serpentine belt pulleys. I *think* the FD alt has a larger diameter shaft, which would mean the FC pulley would need to be bored out to fit.
