Default Quick question on an alternator....rant inside

Well I get out of work today and the car starts acting funny, like cutting off fuel and shit. I check my turbo timer, it has a volt meter and sure enough it says 11.8 volts, I accelerate and it got to 12.6 top. I work in Orlando, live in Haines City about 30 miles, I made it to haines city and had the electrical system checked, sure enough bad alternator putting out 5 amps of the 70 it should put out

Anyways of course Autozone said they could not get it for the turbo model, but they could for the 2.5rs.

I get home and check the part numbers, and sure enough they are the same. I check the part number at Discount auto, they are the same, checked subaruonline.com and they are the same.

I guess I should be good buying the one for the 2.5rs. Just want to know if anyone knows for sure they fit, I mean they have the same part number so obviously is the same part.

I guess i'm just ranting because I hate autoparts stores, their experts don't know shit I always have to teach them and most of them think they know everything. This guy burnt his hand with the turbo, I got fucking bi ass intercooler pipes going everywhere, and big ass FMIC, and BOV that you can see, even the fucking turbo is right there and when we went inside he had to ask me if it was a 2.5 or the 2.0 turbo. When I said turbo he straight out just said, oh sir we don't carry parts for the turbos. Fuck autozone. Oh and the car only has 60k miles, and the alternator is gone

Thanks for listening
