Should be fine, new alternator is not much as well.

it is the wires that are connected to the alternator that is causing the problems.

I had this problem on my mr2. the alternator then died after around 3 weeks.

It is the flux breaking down at high revs due to the insulation on the windings or rotor breaking down.
