Does anyone know the actual rating for the stock alternator for an 05 Scion tC. All I've been able to find is that spec is 30A of excess capacity with high beams and A/C on. ROAR! My guess based upon fusing and the electrical diagrams I have seen is 120A, but I could be wrong. I would rather know what i'm dealing with before I swap the stupid thing out.

RARRGRRR! ROAR! And so on.

Nope.

I'm thinking I'll need around 200A so I'll probably just end up going for an aftermarket, but we'll see, my winter car got sold out from under me so everything else is on hold until I can find one.
