high-output alternators?

[Brett Dikeman]

I've finally had it with my "ultranator"; voltage swings are back and  
the alternator struggles to match load under almost any  
circumstance.  Utter garbage.

Bosch apparently makes higher-output alternators for many vehicles-  
even Asian cars.  Some are rated as high as 200A(!)  Sounds great,  
right?  Well, except they don't list an applications for various Audi  
models I tried.  I looked for the 200q20v, and a '88 5000 CSTQ  
(figured it was more common.)

I've been told to look into Motor City Remanufacturing, Iraggi  
Alternators, Excessiveamperage, Ohio Generator, Wrangler, or Stinger  
by someone who does audio equipment installs, and I'll be chasing  
these leads down.

Has anyone had success fitting other non-Bosch alternators?  And what  
other european cars use the same alternator style?  Are Bosch  
alternators for european cars pretty much the same?

I can't remember off the top of my head- what's the standard rating  
on the 200q20v?  I know it was more than previous years, but by how  
much?  Is it 110A or more?
