Default Is reliability an issue at 286 bhp

I'm thinking of doing perfomance mods to the A-4 1.8t quattro, such as Apr or Tap's stage 4. They claim this would make the car approach nearly 300 horses, with the addition of new turbo, intercoller, injectors, ecu, etc. Who do you think the best tuners are for this type of modification, and how far should I go to still be able to retain reliability and expect decent longevity out of the engine.
