Do you have a massive stereo or anything in your car? If not, you don't need to upgrade - just get a good stocker. The stock alternator is PLENTY powerful - FC guys routinely upgrade to it, actually.

Our alternator will directly replace the stock alternator, and interface directly to your car’s computer. No need for brackets or messing with the wire harness. The only change you will make is the output from the alternator to the battery. We recommend 4 gauge or larger.
I sent them a message that I needed less AMP and alot less $$$.
Their reply:
Sorry Ken,
We spec our models to the highest possible amperage, and that is the only model we actually build for your car.
Thanks,

The alternators from Mazda seem to put out a lot more current - I've found them to be of higher quality and put out more juice.
The stock FD alternator actually puts out around 130+ amps - it moves a LOT of current.
I don't see the extra fan and fuel pump causing *that* much of a problem. If your stock alternator is tired, sure, but that shouldn't be a great hassle.

Do yourself a favor and get the alternator.
The V8 Killa FD I did had the same problem.
It would only drop voltage when under full load in boost at higher rpms. Something you normally would not notice untill it's too late.
Listen to Steve. You're very lucky that he point that out to you and that's because he have a lot of experience.
What's cheaper? A $600 alternator or a bill for a new motor and turbo?
