Never really heard of alternators having issues, but most turbo guys don't spin past 7k or so (and even that takes some work since the factory EFI rev limiter is set at 6200 RPM) but my buddy in Lakeland used to spin his turbo motor to 9k with stock block/crank. Those motors are damned near indestructable kinda like aftermarket Chevy stuff 
Back then I was using cheap rebuild alternators from the parts store. My 2.3 was not fuel injected, I ran a 500cfm Holley 2 barrel and an MSD 6T. The bottom end was an all stock turbo motor and the head and intake was of a carburated motor. If I remember correctly I cut 0.120" off the head to up the compression and used a sloted gear for the cam to redegree it. That was my first expriance with cam timing. I recieved some help from a friend who raced mini stocks at sunshine back in the day.
