Voltage Regulators with Higher Voltage than Stock

I'm interested in replacing the stock voltage regulators (Audi 100, 1990), with an different model that would regulate to a slightly higher voltage.  I've seen discussion of this over the years, that the stock regulator will regulate the voltage down to approx 13.5 whereas there are some plug-in compatible replacements that will regulate closer to 14.5.

One reference article on the subject was Huw's, at

http://www.humanspeakers.com/audi/alternator.htm

in which his top choices were the Avi Meron unit or the French Motorola unit.

      Avi Meron unit, new Unknown VRBO-151 14.8 14.8 
      Motorola (from parts car) France 505 055 9??7062 14.3 15 + 


Google came up short when I tried to find either of these.  I found the link to Avi Meron's site on audifans.com, but the site isn't up anymore.


Can anyone suggest a replacement voltage regulators that function around the 14.5 Volt range, and where it can be ordered from (or part number?)


Thanks
