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).

Big difference though on a new car... Especially since you were an early adopter. You dont know what issues the engine/car will have since its a new platform, Modifications will void your warranty and if you encounter any major recalls in the future regarding the engine or anything your fucked. I personally would wait to modify my car atleast until most of the warranty has been used up and or put alot of miles on it already and you feel confident the car doesnt have any issues from the factory.
Sticking to bolt ons that wouldnt affect the warranty too much or anything that you can take off easily when you gotta take it in for service. He wants to upgrade internals too so that will be a major upgrade if he does do that and any problems occur due to warranty
