    Because on DSMs the alternator is right next to the hot side of the turbo, and with heatshields removed, and an open wastegate right next to it as well, it burns them up QUICKLY. You have to remove your AC and mount the alternator (On DSMs) in the AC compressors place (rear of engine away from all heat) with a special mounting kit that is available.
