Turbo 04 Cobra here. Would you guys recommend TuffStuff, PA Performance, or Powermaster?

What amp, 130, 150, or 200?

I want to get an aftermarket one for the black housing.

You might want to try the terminator forum. We don't have the same issues the 03/04 guys have.

I know two guys that ran PA Performance alternators. Both went bad, but were taken care of under warranty.

My car is turbo swapped so it's got an OEM 01 Cobra alternator on it. Just looking for other options and whether running a higher than stock amp will be detrimental or not.

The stock 01 alternator is 130amp. So it's already pretty good. Mine was upgraded to a 200amp when it was rebuilt. I figure the extra power couldn't hurt.
