You should search for my recent posts-- symptoms were almost exactly the same, including dimming of alt warning light at high rpm and (apparent) failure of new Bosch VR <5k miles after install.
If you have a buddy with a C900 who is willing to let you experiment, I suggest swapping that "bad" VR into his known-good alternator. I did just that, VR worked fine. I pulled the alt, took it to a rebuild shop, found that the slip rings were shot. $75 for R&R (slip rings, bearings, sand-blast pulley), Bosch VR back in, I'm good to go.
Please let us know what you find.
