    Stock alternator is working fine. I too had my doubts.

    OK, back on track, work has been busy

    Issues solved:

    boost leak, OF COURSE (back to 11-12psi)

    had to dial in BOV spring.


    New parts:

    200amp alternator with smaller pulley and 2g wire upgrade (with the cobra fan staying on because it has a hard time cooling, my night time driving stays around 12.9 volts).

    High volume water pump. just cause

    Mark 8 fan upgrade. (Man she blows, even has time to take breaks in this florida heat).

    Looks good , but my concern would be the turbo melting the fan shroud.

    thanks and that's one of my concerns too, the turbo itself is a half inch away from the shroud, hopefully the blanket protects it.

    lost the transmission and fuel pump.

    my set up was a BAP, aero340 (it was on half) and all upgraded wiring, not sure what went wrong there.

    researching duals

    Upgraded FPDM?

    Transmission is going to be a problem...

    And make sure the BAP is a 40 amp instead of a 20 amp. Externally you can't tell the difference.

    Yes the FPDM was upgraded as well,

    Is the 40amp BAP really needed for twins?
