No matter what forced induction route you go down, reliability is going to come down to the tune. You could have an awesome ptuning kit running conservative boost and still blow the motor if the tuner is incompetent. There are many proven forced induction kits for this platform that you can research on the forum. Choose which one fits your needs the best.

The real question is what tune are you going to be using or where you are getting your tune from. The CARB JRSC Tune is known to be quite good, but if you're looking for custom tuning, that's where I think you should invest most of your research. This car has both direct injection and port injection which causes a lot of headaches for tuners if they haven't tuned these cars before so it is important that you find a competent one.

Are you looking to get it dyno tuned? If so, you'll need to find a tuner in your area with a good reputation and one that has tuned these cars before. If there aren't any in your area, plenty of people have had good experiences with Delicious Tuning and there flash 'n go service. You basically tell them your mods and they'll give you a base map. From there you'll log data and go back and forth with them as they revise your tune to fit your car.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do, just remember research, research, and research when it comes to expensive car parts. The last thing you want to do is spend a whole bunch of money and realize that it was a waste. Happy driving!
