2002 VW Passat Alternator?

[atamanch 1]

I'm planning on powering a sundown 2000d off a regular battery up front and a D3100 in back. Don't think my puny little 90Amp stock alt will survive for long with that load so...

Let me rephrase lol "makes one" for less than like 600$?

I emailed a representative at MechMan and they wanted me to ship out my current alt so they could clone the casing and make me a custom 200 amp one for 599$ because its a one off project?!

Any reasonable prices on these things?

Just start pricing all the other companies, has to be one under $600. Try Excessive Amperage, Mean green, Power master, you can even try knukonceptz alts lol.

I just ordered a 200 amp alt from Excessive Amperage. I know for you you have to tell us more like what kind of engine? Ill post how the alt is holding up whenever I get it installed (sometime next week)

$300 for a 250A alternator, I hope its reliable (just sounds kinda cheap to put out that much power).

I got a 200 amp alt (from a friend on here) for 300 when it cost 400 originally. I think a good key is ~2$ for every amp the alt is designed to put out.

300 amp alt from Iraggi is 339.

so im pretty sure its a little less than that

Also have you tried calling around local shops that rebuild alternators and make them more-beefier? i know of a place around here that does; but i think they went out of business not to long ago.

I will be purchasing 200A Alternator for my 2003 Saturn Ion for $422, so I dont think they will be less than that unless you want lesser quality. Rebuilding an alternator is not always a good thing neither unless they revamp it from head to toe (every single feature and not just some of them), a upgraded beefier factory alternator is not always the best option.
