16v 2.0l engine, N/A stats??

Vince,

Scott may be on to something here. How much time do you spend at full
throttle? As soon as you let up at all it will start charging again. If the
alternator (high amps) is in good condition I don't see any problem with
this set up. So Scott can I have a copy of the schematic that you are
thinking about for this?
