109687, Bosch High-Output Alternator?
Posted by stillettoDSM, Aug-13-08 04:55 AM
Anyone have any experience with those Bosch High-Output Alternators? Something like they're putting out 160 Amps instead of the Stock 90?
My Alternator just Shit-Out on me, maybe a blessing in disguise, I have a List of things I need to do anyways, Finish Brake Job, New Prothane Mounts, Oil Change, etc.
I don't want to drop that extra cash on a "High-Output" Alternator unless it's pretty damn good. Let me know, Thanks!

I might be Mistaken, I Apologize if I am, but I thought those were the Numbers I saw while I was looking on either Summit or J C Whitney's Site.
Those might've just been Bosch's Numbers, possibly Generic, and not Mitsubishi's.

There is actually an alternator Jeep makes that fits directly in our car and puts out 160A for about $200. If you're interested I can ask my friend for more details as he is the one that told me about this just a couple weeks ago - too bad I already bought my 200A Iraggi Alternator for $440 last summer!

Alright give me a day or two and I should have it for you guys - I work 11-7pm so I'm not likely to get an instant response when I'm calling after 7pm...

Okso he didn't specify which model since he was busy and couldn't think of it off-hand but he said it only works if you hvae a 4g63 or 4g64 and it is a Saturn alt. I'll have to ask him another day what model Saturn it comes from...

ya sorry to get any hopes up...I drive a 420a myself so I know what it would be like to hear about this and then find out it's only for the 4g63 - adding to the list of reasons I wished I had saved up for the TSI...
