98.5 1.8t Alternator bearings getting a bit noisy, 90 to 120 amp upgrade possible?

I would like to drop a 120amp replacement in.
My question is the 120amp alternator a direct bolt in?

Thanks in advance

Direct bolt on yes, but

I see differences in the protective cap on the back of the generator and in the voltage regualtor. Not sure if those affect the usage of the 120 amp in our cars, but it is listed for the AEB engine.

058-903-016-CX, $658.93 MSRP + $100 core for the 120A generator.
