so you can just send in your original and have then build that one up? Is it cheaper that way instead of buying a new one

That's what I'm going to do, and yes it can be cheaper.

My factory alt. is a Bosche 150a. I found one on Eghey, used, for less than $100.

Gus told me they would have to buy a brand new one, or try to find a used one (which would be too much hassle for them). New ones can cost $2-300 depending on where you get it, and they would get it straight from Bosche or wherever; the most expensive route.

how much are they building it up amps wise i dont know if mine can be built up that much

I was told that they can get about 270a safely, and reliably out of this Bosche unit.

maybe look into mechman alts, very good reviews and have a few specials on certain alts for 300 bucks for 250amp alts

I paid 700 for my ohio alt. Was worth it. Its a really good alt but my blazer idles at like 500-550 so sometimes it wont charge when im stopped at a light. so i have to hold the gas a tad bit

250 amp alts for 300 bucks for suvs not cars like i have and some others i wouldnt mind going with mechman if i could get a one wire 250 amp i would love to have

i got mine from a guy i know that use to compete,its a 200 amp.he said it maxes out at 220,i also have the external regulator to.i installed it on my 62 chevy it charges great so far.i got 4 group 31's to it but no amps as of now hooked up,im not driving it at the time also.but when i raise the amps on it ,it bogs my motor down so i know its working good.i talked to gus too and he said if i have any problems he will fix it for me.this alty was made in 1999.

If it's a rewound stock case it's going to be limited in it's low-speed output most of the time. You may see little or no increase in output below 3-4000 rpm in some cases.

PM or email Mechman and talk to him, he can build an alternator for anything and will have no issue discussing a special build for your car.
