There's nothing wrong with preplanning.
As per engine reliability, I've had mine boosted @8psi with ~265whp for the last 15k miles. No issues. I'd break the engine in NA (first 1000 miles).

Thank you for the info. To be safe you think I should just wait a year and be happy with it NA for now? I'd be totally fine with it personally. I don't think I'll be hitting as much power as you though, more than likely I'll be sticking with the standard 75mm pulley. Its just an autocross/weekend play car. I was honestly just worried reliability wise because imagine how awkward it'd be to be that guy who wasn't sure if he should have upgraded the internals and ended up destroying the engine early on. Thanks for the info. If the car is a lemon its covered under the lemon laws hence more so why I should probably wait a year before tampering with the engine.
