You can PM 98 for more info, but from my talks with him is that you WILL NEED to have the alternator customized. It's not just simply a bolt on and have an automatic 200 amps. He had to take it to a shop and have it rewound plus have a factory Toyota plug for it to work. Also there was a thread where . You just have to take the pulley from the Toy alt. and swap it onto the GM. Not a direct bolt on as some people have came to find out. Read post 19 for the MR2 alternator on this link here
