Question Alternator fuse keeps popping

Like the title says...2nd time this week...first I thought it was just random...but then it did it again today...anyone else have this problem with a turbo? Or am I just going to have to keep a $hit load of fuses in my car!

Everything on the turbo is fine...and I didnt add anything new to the power source so Im

Any help would be great. thanks!

damn, now thats new to me.. make sure nothing is touching the alternator (wires, housing) check that your nuts and bolts are tight. i don't really see a reason for alternator fuses to be blowing after a turbo is put on. Maybe the alt is going bad? bring it by autozone or someplace and have it checked.

I had the same problem, the wires to my 02 sensor were shorting out...

Yeah, sounds like a short somewhere.....
Pick up a multimeter and check the wires from the ecu to the various sensors for continuity.
