High output alternators

ok so now upgrading the alt amperage wont hurt the system any will it..

I am using an S4 n/a alternator on my engine swap (because mine is in great shape) but I would like to up the power a bit if it will not harm/overlad the system..

any precautions that need to be taken in order to run a high amp alternator?

This REALLY gets my interested expecially with a polish job too.

the hi-amp units are simple plug and play. no precautions needed. the new internal voltage regulator keeps the power in check. the extra voltage is there when its needed
