Yes. They sell a high amp alternator. The stock one on a 3.2 is just adequate. My shop has done a bunch in 911s. Pricey but well done.

I’m not a center console guy but I would happily put that in my car. Cool idea!

I'm not a center console guy either. I think they are "unsportscar like". A rather bulky and intrusive way to add 3 pretty much unneeded gauges.

OTOH, this is a much better way to add the evaporator than the clunky under dash units. The fully enclosed console shown is much more attractive than the open one that came as an option.

The best solution is forgetabout AC. Take of fthe top and roll down the windows (easy to say here in the PNW (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) )

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) true on both accounts. 90F & 90% R.H here in the summers. Still have have thoughts of how to do AC without the butchery.
