[QUOTE="blownfox, post: 15560674, member: 57628"] I’m looking to replace/upgrade my alternator. The current one is not bad but I know these cars have issues with alternators. On hot idle I see 13.2ish on the aero-force gauge ( I do have a warning light set at 12.6). My car has long tubes and aftermarket hood vents which might help with heat. I was looking at a Mechman 170 AMP or Nations but which one is better? I know Nations have a battery light that will come on at higher RMPS and I think Mechman a fix for that. I would rebuild the stock one and save it as a spare. I’m only thinking about this because I will be doing some small visual upgrades. The car will be down for a couple of weeks and the battery will be out. My wife drives this car more than I get to and do not want her stranded on the side of the road. Would I need to do a wire upgrade with the 170 AMP upgrade? [/QUOTE]
