Yes, reliability will suffer. Higher boost puts more stress on your engine and increases the chance of knocking (which will blow your engine right away). Using an SAFC to tune it to run plenty rich is important to prevent knock. This will reduce power and mpg a little, but that's better than blowing your engine. With careful tuning, fuel system upgrades and maintenance you can keep from blowing your engine early, but the higher stress will still shorten its life somewhat.

fuel system: www.rx7.com. You don't have to buy their particular products but they give good advice on the fuel system.

I'm sure other guys here will give you more detailed tips. Just be careful is all I'm saying.
