[Vwdiesel] 90A diesel alternator?

[Shawn Wright]

Partly because I have a 90A from the WBX engine on hand, but mainly because I plan on 
adding a 2nd battery, along with an IC fan and aux coolant pump at some point. I'm thinking 
the load may be getting too close to the safe limits of the 65A when running with highbeams, 
wipers, radio, two heater fans, etc. It is also getting old, being the original one from the TD 
engine. (yes, it has 480k kms on it with nothing but new brushes!)
