I sent phil off an email.

I always believed that alternator power output was largely a function of stator/rotor coil.

My search across many websites leds me to the "updated" regulator: 1 197 311 028. Looks like between $20-$35 or so. Not bad at all.

One issue still remains: the fact that the GP light on the dash doesn't come on 100% of the time. Every time I've tested the GP system its passed without issue. Every time the key is turned, the box clicks and voltage appears at the plugs. I know its not the relay box because I've swapped the two SD's relay boxes.
