Lol 91 octane disagrees with you man, meth injection or not.

People have been running low boost setups with superchargers or small-ish turbos on integras, preludes, NSX's, 350z's, Celica GT-S's/Lotus Elise/Exige's, stock honda k20 motors, BMW's, Mini Cooper S's, NC Miata's reliably for quite some time. I dunno what to tell you.
(Some of those are even stock, with factory warranties!)
If you stay
reasonable about your goals and don't cheap out, it isn't a problem.
Not to mention motorcycles. Though they tend to have a different standard of reliability than car owners.

a lower margin for error it means environmental factors actually play a significant role in reliability.. It means you better have a weatherchannel app on your phone and make sure ambient temps don't reach xxx while you're driving or else you're jeopardizing your car.

I live in South Texas, and have never known anybody
who didn't cheap out on setup or tuning and stayed reasonable to have a problem.

is a 12.5 compression 4 cylinder turbo/supercharger possible? Sure......Is it smart? Lol not really. That's like saying leaving one in the chamber ****ed and loaded at the Christmas party is a good idea.

Well I certainly wouldn't order the first generation of aftermarket turbo kits, that's for sure. I'm just saying it can be done. But like anything else, you gotta pay to play. Fast/cheap/reliable-choose two, insert platitude of your choice <here>.

Lol Who told you this load of crap...

The quality of aftermarket tuners varies tremendously. There are lots of great ones out there. There are lots of not-so-great ones out there, too. Sometimes they're one and the same, depending on platform!
OEM tunes may tend to leave a lot of power on the table, but they probably aren't going to break your engine.
