FD alt into 86 gxl (fuse question)
I recently installed an FD alt into my s4 gxl. I double, tripple and quadruple check my wiring and they looks good and correct.
But I noticed that my main fuse (black) is only 80A. Should I "up" the main fuse to 100A or more??

No. There is no reason to change the main fuse out.
