What alternator are you Sammy guys running? I have a 1.6 8v and have read on other forums that the GM upgrade is not so good as they are not made to turn more that 3000 rpm. ??? Just trying to see what is out there. Thanks!

I very much disagree.
I run a 94 amp gm. 1 wire on my 1.6 8v. with zero problems.
Go with a GM alt., they're cheap and easy to find.The one wire set up is not preferred for our use due to the fact that it doesn't fully energize until about 1800-2200 RPM depending on who you talk to. It's easy to do the three wire system, there are tons of sites on the net that will walk you through it.
Its easy as pie, but spend the money and buy the alt somewhere beside Autozone. My last 2 from there lasted 1 trip, and 3 trips. They had lifetime warrentys but it sucks changing them all the time.
