BOSCH NOS OR rebuilt 55A. Stay within the original spec for all 4 bangers.
Too much could go wrong if you go to 75 amp. I got a NOS for under 100. Still have to install it, but the OEM Bosch is running fine. John |

QUOTE(avidfanjpl @ May 8 2011, 08:00 PM)  Too much could go wrong if you go to 75 amp. Can you expand on this? What sorts of things can go wrong with a higher output alternator? Are you concerned about the potential to overheat the wiring if other loads are put on the system? |
