Alpina has already maxed out the stock turbo in the present iteration of their B3 Biturbo. They're running at 17.5 psi - if you use more boost, they'll be even further out of their efficiency range and will melt in a short period of time.

You can however optimize the exhaust system (catless downpipes) and install a meth injection - then you'll be probably at around 450hp (crank). Or you put in bigger turbos, then 500hp is easy to reach.
