Hubaswift Posted July 29 Report Share Posted July 29 Looks like my golf has an unusual vehicle specific alternator, can't find one above 150A. Want one more around 350A/400A. Is there somewhere I should be looking, or do most people in these cases make an adaptor to fit a more standard alternator? Looks pretty tight in there. Stock Golf TSI 2017.

Hubaswift Posted August 1 Author Report Share Posted August 1 Looked around a bit more, and called out to mechman, but it looks like there are just no high output alts available for my car. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnutz37 Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 Brand X makes numerous ones that fit your car. I have the same vehicle. You’ll need a different sized belt if you go over 220 (240?) amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CstrokerV Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 Did you try singer and us alternators?

Hubaswift Posted August 4 Author Report Share Posted August 4 Yes! I actually did find out about singer via another thread, and messaged him. I have an alternator ordered and in queue for build. I ended up going with one around 290A and 240A at idle. He didn't mention whether I'd need a different size belt though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
