As far as reliability, well, that all depends on the quality of the installation and how much you want to pump up the boost. A relatively modest bump should not have a large impact on reliability. if you start trying to get 400HP out of your engine though, you are going to have to start looking at other internals.
If I wanted over 400bhp I'd swap for an ls motor, but I think that might be overkill haha. And I know a supercharger would be the way to go, I just wouldn't know where to start. For now I'll just enjoy it as is
