Anyone else have any issues with the alternator? My alternator still seems to be working ok so I'm thinking I just need a new insulator terminal and not a new alternator. Have no idea what would cause this but could this have led to my coil pack failure?

A similar thing happened to me... not quite that bad, though. The nut that holds the cable to the alternator was loose... it was the one nut/bolt that I forgot to tighten (I hope!) when I installed my kit. Because it was loose, it was causing sparking and started to melt the boot. My tuner caught the mistake before any real damage happened.
