Hello,

For stock applications, I prefer a Bosch rebuilt 55 amp alternator in conjunction with the IPD bracket(if needed)and a Bosch electronic voltage.

For cars with high power lights and/or low powered stereos, I recommend a custom made 100 amp Bosch alternator that is a direct replacement for the 55 amp version.

For cars with lights and a high powered stereo, a 200+ amp high output alternator is recommended, but this option requires additional parts and is very expensive.
