I agree with you, Phil.I have 210hp dyno'd modified alpina.
It is a beast compared with a genuine turbo perfectly restored by my friend. 
The turbo gently goes like many japnese turbo followers(mostly for domestic
market).
Even, compared with 911turbo(my flag ship) the alpina appeals the most
to my passion.

BTW, does anyone know a good chassis
for replacing the alpina(round tailed tii based) 
which underfloor severely rusted out.

Is there a good source of restored chassis in the US?
