I didn't have to worry about custom tuning or any of that (2004 Jetta 1.8T) So this is all new to me.



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.
When I got a more radical setup on my WRX (2.5L block swap, EJ207 heads, etc.) I drove about 20 hours one-way on an old map, never going above 4000 RPM and very little boost to get it tuned by someone I knew would do a great job. 8 hours is a small price to pay to get something done 100% right.
