Why would you want to get a higher amp alternator? Are you running a gigantic sound system in the car? That's a hell of a lot of draw....

The stock alternator costs close to $300 While the 150 amp is 165. But if i could get it for 150 And not have to wait for shipping that would be great!!! Wheres the shop at?

An oem replacement is a lot cheaper than oem Subaru one.

Ill look into that starter and alternator shop. Thanks

that's not bad. You should check how much a new OEM alternator is. Did you check remanufactured or oem replacement from o-Riley or Napa?

I've never had a subaru alternator done there, lots of small boat alternators though. I guess that's why they are cheaper. Still not bad though.

I replaced the starter and now it turns on fine. The only thing i see going on is that while idling sometimes it goes up to 2000 Rpms by itslef then back to normal.
