Its only 15 amps, will that make much of a difference? I can get one by taking mine back and paying 30 differenve versus 300 for an alterstart model thats 150amps

That's a great price! Especially since it's for a 1gGet one of these (140 amp). Direct bolt on, kicks ass. I have one in my 1990.

I checked where you got yours... they wanted 299 same with alterstart... that ebay one is priced right where id like to see..I bought my HO 150amp alternator for 157.00 on Amazon! Where are you shopping?

Still the question is how much better would 90amp be for me in the meantime. The manager is willing to trade mine out so its saving me money for now. The 140amp would be something i want of course but wanted to see if anyone had experience with the 90amp.
2g is 160.. they want 299 for 1gThen get the ebay one. I see mine for 160.00 not sure who you checked.
Answers obvious then. Ebay is your friend!2g is 160.. they want 299 for 1g
Sounds like you need heat shieldsMan $140 is cheap as ****! Im going to buy one when i can afford to. Its costing me 160 to get mine rebuilt and they only seem to last 5 months.
yup! That was my main problem, i was running no exhaust and no heat shield for a good while. But then i realised as much as i love the pick up in turbo spool and noise it was super heating my oil pan, oil filter housing and alternator. I changed back to a stock O2 housing and made a heat shield for it but im still killing alternators.Sounds like you need heat shields
get the stock shields(both) and have someone jetcoat them as well as wrap your downpipe... dont keep replacing alternatorsyup!
