You have two choices - find one from an Audi or Golf - bigger than 90A is
rare with the same base that the Vanagon needs - you will have to swap
pullies, but that is fairly simple.

The ultimate is to use two alternators - there are factory brackets for this
and it is healthier for each alternator as they will be producing less
current and not working as hard to achieve 110A

Hi all,
Hey, I know I have heard mention of 110 or 120 amp
Alternators on the list. Stock ones are 90 amp. Who
knows anything about the bigger ones & where do you
get them. Make & model would be helpful. I'm wanting
to upgrade for an auxilary battery set up that keeps
running into problems.

Thanks,

=====
