                do it right, and put a voltmeter on the battery. if it's not more than 14v at idle, alt is going.

                      It's on the low end of fine. What is it at ~2k rpm?


                      Also, anyone need e28 suspension? I've got a set of bilstein sports and bav auto springs.

                          13.62 at 2k. I guess its time to see if that Bosch warranty is still valid.
                          Just installed this damn thing.

                              I was fucking stupid when I go the car and cut up the carpet instead of being patient and properly removing it
