Start off at a 50 or 75 HP shot, and use a wideband. With proper tuning it should be pretty reliable. You many want to research some other VW boards to be on the safe side to see if anything needs upgraded or other issues such as:

Fuel pump  
Fuel injectors  
Issues with location if you decide on a wet-shot  
Tuning issues
