I don't like ressing things but I tried this and it didn't work. So far i had replaced the alternator with a Nissan Quest alternator. That made my voltage with loads on go from 13.5 to 14.5 which is nice but the idle still dips when there is too much load.

For an example after the car is fully warmed up at night I'm driving and when I come to a stop because my foot is on the brakes and the lights are lit the idle goes down. Or after I stop and let off the brakes it goes back to normal if for an example my window is down and I press the down button again the idle dips the same way.

I've checked my regular battery ground and it's good. The new alternator seems to be doing real good. And I just did the trick in this thread and I have the ground going straight to the negative term.

As far as I know the battery is ok last time I tested it with the car off it was putting out 12.65 volts. Could a bad battery still do this to a car though? I have seen batteries that seem ok but still perform like shit.

Maybe I should look into a grounding kit?
