AS I UNDERSTAND ALTERNATORS ARE RATED AT DIFFERENT AMPERES I THINK MINE IS 70 AMP RENAULT PUTS HIGHER SPEC ALTERNATORS ON HIGHER SPEC CARS AS I AM PLANNIN TO UPGRADE MY I.C.E IN THE NEAR FUTURE (INSTALL SOME AMPS AND SUBS ETC ) I THOUGHT UPRATING THE ALTERNATOR MAY HELP WITH A HIGH POWERED INSTALL

HAS ANYBODY DONE THIS ? WAS IT WORTH IT ?
