Start with the recommended gearing from your b6 manual. At first you will want to run blinky as this will be easier to drive. Leave the end bell timing on the motor at factory setting which is probably 30*. When your ready to add boost and turbo start small. If your only getting it outrun by a hair I would only add a bit of turbo. Turbo can have either a delay after WOT is reached or be set to instant once WOT is reached. Boost on the other hand is more torque. It's basically used to give the feel of a stronger motor. It has specific RPM ranges that it operates. Just remember that all of this creates heat exponentially, compared to just running a faster turn motor. But if done correctly in moderation, your setup should run for a long time. Also, you should get a good fan R1, wtf, muchmore or comparable. This will help your car run cooler and longer.

And lastly. Before you go out and run 10-15 min. Check your temps every few min. Remember to gear down a bit on your pinion to allow for the extra rpm's as well. A tooth or two should be good.

Hope this helps.
