997 TT is coming together

As I posted earlier my cluth was starting to let go I decided yesterday I'm tired of babying the beast. Thanks to Mike at AWE he gave me a great deal on a sachs 2.5 set up. I decided not to get the LWFW in hopes that mine is still ok. I don't much care about the excess chatter, but I'm wondering if for a small amount of money I'm loosing out on some great gains by not doing this mod?
Secondly I'm ready for a tune but due to my location i'm limited as we have no name brand tuning shops around so my ecu would have to be sent out. I checked out a new board sponsor Ecu Tuning Group and wholly crap they have a cheap tune and an installer in my area. I have to say the claims are a little flashy for my taste, but I sure like the price. Has anyone had any verifiable feedback with this company and do you think with my cargraphic exhaust I could continue to build around this tune?
Thanks for any input and responses.

Go with softronic and do it yourself without removing your ecu, doesn't get much better or easier than that

Agreed that going with a tune that doesn't require removing the ECU would be the best option.

As for the sachs 2.5, how are you liking it?

I have the 2.5 and it's phenomenal (same feel as factory) but tons of clamping force to deal with power into the low 700's, also left the FW as is. Mike and AWE are fantastic guys and super helpful so shout out to them, +1!!!

As for tune - go with Softronic. Don't go with "new", "untested" tuners.
With softronic you have the benefit of the durametric cable - so you can take care of any check engine lights, specifically helpful if you're in a remote location.
