    Voltage boosters raise the voltage too much, and can lower the amperage (what really matters) of the alternator.

    Then you have other problems, mainly connection based, and probably internal problems with your alternator. The voltage boosters are a gimmick that falls in the same category as removing the honeycomb screen from your TB, and adjusting your BBV. Might as well put a resistor on your IAT while you are at it. Look up how these alternators work and you'll see.
