Alernators - Where to get more powerful ones

[j_s]

Hi guys

I believe my standard GTI 8v alternator is 65amps, where can I get one of 90+ from that will bolt straight in and any idea of how much it could affect petrol consumption?
I have seen them at GFS or Eurocarparts but they don't seem to be Bosch items and preferably want something reliable and will last for a while at least.

i have a diesel one here, im guessing that may be a 90 amp jobbie. pm/email  me if u want it , its spare.

Have heard an audi one will bolt straight on, think its a 110A one.

Did this on mine not long back came from a Corrado, G60 or 16v ones have 90 amp alternators find one in a scrappy if u can when you do let me know where it is so I can come pilfer bits! they bolt straight on easy enough and stop your headlights dimming when you put your windows up and down

I got one from my local alternator/starter motor repair guy brand new for about £120. It basicly looks the same and wont affect your petrol consumption at all.
