i decided i wanted the alternator on the pass side rather than drivers so it was closer to my batt and cleans up the intake side. so there were like a 4 year span of rangers that were just so. took some doing to find the ranger parts to do so but i did and it is a clean little set up. then a couple pics of the manifold and wastegate.

Very nice install and very close to the battery :)  How many amps does the alternator make.  That thing is huge!!

130 amp alt. 1 wire....i was going to go 3 wire but the ecu isnt set up for that and this company assures me the wire wire reg is set to maintain 14 volt . the guys on the ford forums seem to have very good luck with these so for $20 more than a stock at the auto parts store i said lets try it. i can always change it later.

130 is a bunch.  Sounds good.  If you have issues I've had several flawless parts from these folks.  https://www.dbelectrical.com/

i`ll have to give them a try. looks like they offer quite a bit and thanks for the link. i went that large as i will be running the 60 watt car to car\intercom system by rugged and the saturn vue eps system looks to pull 30 amp pretty continuous. factory uses a 50 amp fuse but internal thermal switch is rated for 45 amp. heated 02 sensors pull more than 1 thinks! also i`ll have 2 cooling fans 10 and 18 amp draw. and light, not to meantion this walbro 450 fuel pump says up to 22 amp peak draw. they told me it doesnt charge below 800 rpm. idle is basically that and rarely there. now enemys stock alt quits at 7k rpm btw  rofl rofl when you see his headlights dim at that rpm kind of a give away  rofl but what a ride in that ranger!

Pretty slick!
Enemy's dimming headlight are just a more visual shift light.  Cant be looking at dash at 7K rpm and 35psi boost.................!

Much better pics, LOL

Well an incorrect little baby pulley on a junkyard alternator does goofy shit somtimes... LMAO
Oh, and extreme wastegate heat right next to the regulator can do some funky stuff as well. DS's should have plenty of breathing room for his alternator!
My last regulator decided to dump 18 volts into the system before it puked... And killed/cooked/exploded the battery in the box. That was a fun evening.......
Have since remedied the issue  ;)
Pretty sure Brian took notice lol
