Turco,
I'd hate to bring this all up from the dead... but tuning wise I have no problems with DSG.
I actually didn't know the tuner myself, but he's a friend of a friends I found out lately. I was there to tune my friend's talon, and did a conservative tune on my own evo for kicks. Matt (the tuner there) definitely knows what he's doing. I have no idea of the bad experience the other person has.. but to say that there was an 8:1 fuel ratio is just unbelievable to me.
Look, the machine outputs all the readings, unless the wideband was really off, or a bad boost leak/something happened... how can it be tuned that way? Sure I did talk a lot of shop with him, he gave me some good pointers, I gave him a few of my inputs, but he is by FAR competent to tune the car.
Hope that clears some things out, or PM me... or I'll try to make it to another of these meets. Unfortunately it's usually a bad time for me to get home to see you guys and eat, even though it's as close to my own home as I could ask for.

There is a guy I work with here who is on a race team who runs in GT3 in SCCA. He's one of the race car owners mechanic. I plan on doing some stuff next year, and he has tons of experience in this and in COMM. If you are really interested, I can get us all together and he can give you/us the quick ins and outs of the classes. His name is Peter Janssen. Our company VP of Operations (Alex Saidel) also races in the 2 SCCA classes. Retired NASCAR class, and Vintage British Sports Car class. And yes, we have a '98 Chevrolet Monte Carlo #24 Dupont car...and a few "JOMAR" british race cars (in house name) you'd have to see them rather than me explain.....holy waste of money and resources to run one weekend a year
