what amp fuse would you get for that line?
Since your car's fairly new, just
add the power cable to your alternator. Leave your stock wiring in place and add onto it. Unless you're going to keep the car for awhile. Then by all means, replace everything. But either way, electricity will find the path with least resistance. So even if you add a bigger power cable and the stock wiring's still in place, the current will flow through the bigger gauge cable.
I'm changing my mind on the fuse. You do the fuse based on the wire thickness....so with 4awg you could go with a 150a fuse which is required in our car because of the size alternator we have (140a). After reviewing some things, I realized 0 awg would be best because it would handle the fuse a bit better than the 4awg, however it would be
ok to run 4awg if 150a was the biggest fuse you used on it.
