Default motor trouble

ever since i installed my turbo kit, anytime the headlights or the radiator fan kicks on the car will bog in idle and idle very low, and if the fan is on and so is the headlights the car will almost stall imediatley......any suggestions to why that is?

you shouldn't need a bigger alternator...you're not putting more load on your electrical system

Stock alternator should be fine. Check the voltage at your battery and alternator, see if the alt is ok
