Start with cleaning the main earth's where it bolts to the chassis and engine and see what happens or else it's off to the auto sparky for you!

Recheck Charge rate from alternator , both Loaded and unloaded. Also check Alternator sensing fuse has not blown or the wire has not gone open circuit.

My bet would be Alternator related. Either Alt, reg or a fault in wiring.

They dont run a sense wire to the alt like almost every other Toyota Alt as they run an external regulator on the supercharged MR2's,

so the regulator and the alternator are both very specific items.
Cannot be interchanged with non SC MR2 items.

And I have a spare for sale of both if you get stuck.
