Jon, there is a level of "safety" that's built into every tune. Your car is not tuned to last three hot laps and blow up on the fourth. If your ECU is not triggering a CEL on an overboost code, it's not a big deal. When you have a little bit of an ache in your body - sore ankle or whatever, do you stop walking? No. You walk it off - same principle. Chill the fuck out.

Acadia Celebrates 1 Year With MQB #3, Wonders If It's Time To Upgrade...

You can, you're choosing not to.
I get the anxiety - if something goes sideways, you want the monitoring there to give you the info you want, think you need - but that is preventing you from just kicking back and enjoying the car.
Think of everything you missed out on when you HAD a Jetta.

I get what you're saying. I know there's a level of safety. That's what the EPC and limp mode is. But did trigger a CEl and overboost code last week.

Lesbian is a good flavor...
you "identify" as a lesbian you mean.
Keep it on the lower psi tune - less risk. Stupid to get rid of it now. My $.02
It's really not - cause none of them are like porn lesbians - most of them are short, fat, have fat fingers, pimples, smell like fish, stinky feet, desperately need pedicures, hairy armpits.

Here's what would potentially be parted out:
Standard Housing Vortex w/ Calibrated Actuator - Less than 3k miles.
Autotech HPFP installed in OEM Housing - I'm the second owner, was told 10k miles on the internals when I bought it. I've added maybe another 1k. No idea on how many miles on housing.
Precision Raceworks Stage 3 LPFP - The Walbro 450. Installed in a drop in basked from PR.
EQT 5 Bar TMAP & 4 Bar PUT Sensors.
Accessport with DSG Flashing - With more tunes than you can shake a stick at, both ECU and DSG.
Majesty FMIC Twintercooler - The updated thicker one.
Racingline VWR R400 Intake, with ECS hose & CTS TIP.
A full Macan Brembo swap - Powdered coated red, currently with high temp 'GTI' decals. Technafit SS lines. Stoptech drilled and slotted front and rear rotors (non-PP rears), Power stop Z26 street pads for front and rear. All gotta be matchy- matchy. Whole setup looks bitchin'.
AWE Track Exhaust with the Brain Resonated Midpipe - Have both black and chrome tips for it.
Helix Euro MK7.5 Sequential Taillights, with harness.
EZ Retrofit Digital Dash.
8" Non-Nav Glass Screen, with piano black trim - There is a little chip on the very bottom edge, that you can barely see. I have a glass screen protector on it currently, and you can't see the chip at all.
Capacitive Climatronic Unit, with trim and harness for a retrofit in a non-climatronic equipped car.
Piano Black Trim Kit - Perfect for someone who installed the 8" glass screen and has been lying to themselves that it looks good clashing with the honeycomb GTI trim. Has the shifter surround, cubby door, non-climatronic control trip, and drivers side vent. All that would be needed is the gauge cluster trim.
Nothing is set in stone, like I said before there's a lot of variables in play. But if anybody wants to call dibs on things just in case it goes that way, let me know!

I haven't, since I haven't been able to pull good logs to verify it's not a traction related issue.

You guys would have to fight.
Not sure if @Mreed055's interest in the tails dropped when I mentioned they weren't OEM though.
