Holden Commodore VY SS
I have a VY SS that's been supercharged (side mount) brought as is. It runs well if I can get it to stay that way!!! Don't know whats up with it...seems to be having electrical issues or similar?

Since buying it approx 4-5 months ago I've had to replace my alternator 3 times - yes three!! I have also had to replace my battery just as many...the battery explodes and the car cuts out on me!!!

It also temporarily cuts out power to the dash when I give it a boot...I'm totally bleeding over it - I've gone to an auto elec who tested the voltage and it showed 14v...doing my head in and becoming expensive... can anyone suggest ideas on what could be the problem??

does the voltage increase with revs? It really sounds like a faulty regulator, were all 3 alternators new? Has anything changed the ratio which the alternator spins at?
