i have some kind of electrical problem i think. i just installed a pa performance 130amp alt and wire kit. also contour and setup.. i have a surging idle so i checked the voltage with all electrical things running.it is 12.5-13.5 at idle. and a steady 14.3 at 1500 rpm. also the alternator gets hot, is this normal??

The output is probably ok.

The term hot is subjective, but alternators do get warm.
