Well, I was able to get the regulator in no problem. All voltages are back to normal. I also just went ahead and got a new battery; Autozone replaced the existing one under warranty.
Pros: voltages back to normal

So i did this today with 3amp 400 piv diode and at idle i was charging at 14 and when i revved it was pegging at 16V, is this overkill? I dont want to drive around and kill my electrical system Click to expand... YES, very much overkill. So is the guy above that was putting out 13.9 and and now 14.7. Anything over 14.1 is usless and asking for trouble. Guys, this is a great mod, in fact i'm using the adjustable in my Corrado now and have it set to 14.1. However, if your already putting out close to that voltage than this is a waste of time. If your putting out 13.1 to 13.4 then i'd say go for it. Remember though to check it with the throttle raised and make sure your safe. Anyone leaveing their alternators pumping out 16v with the throttle up a bit, i'll give it a week and your battery will start to smell of rotten eggs. Then you've got dangerous problems on your hands.
Pros: adjustable voltage, stable charging
Cons: overcharging risk, battery damage

OK. First thing is the voltage regulator was faulty. It was a new voltage regulator but it wasn't a Bosch part. I switched the 2 regulators and the problem went away.
Pros: problem went away
Cons: voltage regulator was faulty
i finally got it. so we were checking wires and stuff and everything was checking out ok and then with the car running we would check the alt. and still no voltage putting out. i was baffeled. so then i thought ill switch voltage regulators because what i did when the new alt. came in was that i changed the voltage regulator to a new one bought previously and had put that one in and installed the alt. so i changed voltage regulators and put the one that came with the new alt. and low and behold there was the problem. i turned the ignition on. the battery light came on in the instement cluster, started the car and boom there it was, the alt. was putting out 14 volts and we were good to go.
Pros: alt putting out 14 volts
Cons: no voltage putting out
