small blue wire goes to D+ on the alternator, 2 red wired connected together go to the B+ terminal.

W terminal is a single-phase output and not used normally.

The alternator fitted to your vehicle would probably have been a 45/55A, and the new one will be a 70A or greater. Make sure your red cables are up to the job or it could all end very warm and toasty if you know what I mean.....
