It’s not difficult, just annoying and fiddly. They couldn’t have made the cables any shorter so it feels like a mission.

Did you unbolt the cable from the starter motor?

If you were in Perth I’d do it for you for niks. Single or sequential turbo no difference. DENSO alternator is around 650-700 bucks, takes about 2 h to replace. Not hard at all. Save your money.
