Glad I found this out now and what do you mean? I'd have at least a boost gauge, i take it I'll need a wideband as well for an accurate tune? I'm still doing my research on what supporting mods i'm going to need. My last car came factory with a turbo so all I needed was a boost gauge and I sent my ECU in to be remapped with 22psi. I didn't have to worry about custom tuning or any of that (2004 Jetta 1.8T) So this is all new to me.

The tunes were rich and timing was backed off at first but it slowly gets more aggressive which is the safe way to do it.
That seems like a good route to go as well if I can't find anybody in the area to dyno tune it for me. Full blown is a good 8 hours away but I'm sure it'd probably be my best bet since they're familiar with these cars.
