first ride in my very own boosted lude!! an problems

let me just tell u this i barley get a ride in a turbo car let alone own one. its great. but now onto the more important stuff. the problems that already have arised. first of all the car runs and idles great. only took her up to 6k. cause not sure how good of a street tune the car has had but it seems ok. the car is loud as hell cause of no exuaghst and just open after the dp. sometimes back fires. but more importantly is that my battery light and break light both came on after i got on it hard. shortly went away after i slowed down. happend again a few times the lights would go dim. untill i let off the gas. then on the way home just crusin at 55mph for about 4 mins the bat and break light came on again but this time the head lights and interier lights got super bright. and the abs light came on for like 20 secs. then went off. then i started to notice my temp was rising past the normal mark. i drove home slowly. what can be making this to happen?

More info on your setup would help, and what ECU. When you were installing your kit did you touch any electornic part of the car, anything remove? Beside the oil pan and header, or relocation of battery?

I thought it sounded just like your alt. in your first post. That's gotta be it.........try not to drive on it too much cuz they way you're going you'll need a new battery to go with it? If you can check the voltage....I'm sure it's goin up to about 17V or more....that's not good at all.

how do u check your voltage with a multi meter like what settings? ok my car has died on me tonight wont hold charge and have to jump the damn thing but goes for awhile. the indicator on the battery stays on charge needed. so i guess its the alt where should i get a replacement or rebuild?
