But, I enjoy the car even more this way with a stronger feeling of ownership.

Yep, I've always been 100% open and honest with my dealer, and I had the same positive reaction from them, with no narrow-mindedness whatsoever. Sure, if any warranty issue could be attributed to supercharging, then there could have been some discussion about it...
Today, my car is 5 years old and well out of warranty, been supercharged and raced for four years, and I still get my Toyota dealer to do my gearbox and diff oil changes because I trust them more than I trust myself for those jobs.
My opinion on what the FA20 can handle reasonably safely boost-wise without forged internals - I'd say +50% whp/torque.
More than that is greedy, pushing the bubble, and inviting disaster IMO. YMMV
