the Powermaster which is an OEM design, but higher current is about $200 less..
How is this model better than the OEM design?

It is a hairpin alternator vs the traditional style we have in our cars. From reading it sounds like it works better @ idle

Have a photo of the new alternator? Or does it look like the std alternator?

well, better Idle current/ voltage.. so Marc H suggest a new wire in parallel from the Alt to the Junction block.. then a new wire from the junction block to the blower controller..

by him doing this (he used a Powermaster 200A CS-144) the Max fan went from 11v input to 13v, which increased fan speed (which our cars suffer)

Jeff,

What about one of these? Would they work?

A little less expensive.

Looking at stator winding, does not appear to be hairpin winding.

I confirm Marc's claim. I replicated what Marc had done to Dredgeguy's (Charlie) car. Definitely increase HVAC fan speed. My Z blows more air at setting 10 than Mercedes SL at max fan setting.

Unfortunately it is not as easy as a fix on a C60 car. I have a solution I need to test though
