BDTuning in Austin is a good shop that does Unitronic. Brink Motorsports is a good shop that does APR.

DBC has the best vw techs in the state, i would only trust them or ELM tuning in houston to do my car.

Here, I took the time to research all the options when looking for my tune:
DBC Tuning____________APR
Black Jack Speed Shop___GIAC
SoulSpeed_____________Revo
BD Tuning_____________Unitronic
I have personally gotten work done at Black Jack Speed Shop on my GTO, full coilovers, swaybars, every single bushing in polyurethane, front and rear subframe alignments, and they did an incredible job. Even asked me to bring the car back a week later so they could double check everything is tight and aligned. The shop is owned by Tim Duncan, they do alot of R8 tunes, I can vouch for them.
SoulSpeed also has an amazing rep, they are known for work on high end racecars, Porches especially. They and Black Jack Speed Shop have the only 2 corner balancers I know of locally.
I had my VAGCOM done at DBC tuning, another of my friends had his K04 CC done there. A good shop from what I can tell. The downside is they are usually very busy, I waited 2 weeks and still couldn't get my tune done.
I can't comment on DB Tuning as I don't know much about them.

Do NOT go to DBC...me and several others have had very bad experiences there, Brink Motorsports in Austin has been great so far though. I have not heard a negative thing about them.

GIAC or Revo are options too :thumbsup:
I've talked with DBC about their process. They say they reseal the ECU and use brand new tamper proof bolts so that it is indistinguishable from when it comes from the factory. Honestly, those are the first negtive reviews I've ever seen. They have 1 yelp review (5 stars) and 60 reviews on Facebook (50 5 star ratings, four 1 star ratings). I've been to the shop and seen their work, meticulous is what I would use to describe them.
We would be happy to assist you if you decided to go Unitronic.
We reseal the ECU and use new tamper screws. All tuners should be doing this. We have tuned a lot of local cars as well as ECU's from out of state in Louisiana.

There are a few more on the forums.
If you decide to go APR then contact mike @ Brink Motorsports.
