I ended up getting a new Bosch AL49X from Bavarian Autosport (back in the day). IIRC, I needed to purchase a new pulley and fan since the old ones were Valeo and incompatible with Bosch. I sort of remember also needing a different / non-standard belt length.

Bosch Aerotwin, zawsze i tylko. Próbowałem Valeo, próbowałem jakiś innych - wytrzymywały dobre pół roku mniej, ale i dużo szybciej pogarszała się jakość ścierania (tzn Bosch dłużej utrzymuje początkową jakość)
Kupiony na allegro za kilka zł więcej niż no-name z marketu a sprawdza się o niebo lepiej

Na swoim też mam Bosch i są spoko
Bosch, u siebie zawsze stosowałem jakieś tańsze, raz postanowiłem kupić coś porządniejszego i nie żałuję. Nie dość że dłużej wytrzymują to i lepiej działają.
I also got my OEM coils for free but i do now need to replace mine, and will be going Bosch.
I order a Bosch AL113MX Reman Alternator (yep Bosch reman the Motorola) since that was what was currently in there. The 81 has a big square York compressor mounted right on top of the alternator which means that to get the rear alternator bolt you better have the right extensions and you are going to do it blind. So after at lot of effort I got the old alternator out and the new one in and only then did I notice that the pulley did not line up.
So I bought a new alternator off of Rock Auto that I was amazed that I had to re-use my old pulley? But when I went to put the pulley on, the nut stripped on the new alternator like instantly. The whole ordeal is trash
Good thing you got a Bosch instead of the duralast. I had a duralast alternator last about 2 weeks and when I was standing in line at AutoZone to return it and buy a real alternator, there was someone behind me also holding an alternator that lasted two weeks.
