Is it possible to upgrade the stock 914/4 alternator for a unit with a built-in regulator?
Anything is possible with enough time, effort and money.
The regulator is not your issue. The issue is there's not much space for anything putting out many more amps. (There are some uprated alternators, but it's not a huge increase, and they still use external regulators.)
Regulators are typically pretty trouble-free, so - what problem are you trying to solve - really ?
