I would then send that to HR for their take.

I think we all have especially engine mods like flash tunes.

Engine mods can be dangerous, but flash mods or strap on chips are "safer" than mechanical lowering springs.
You are far more likely to mess up the entire power train with wheels, spacers and lower springs [exactly like this OP]; than you are to blow a turbo with ECU boost [like OP said no tune].
and while it's far less likely to happen, even a blown turbo is a drivable fixable solution for half the price, of a whole new axle and drive train. where you can't even drive it and tow costs alone double the double price.
