Glad to be of help.
For the engine and transmisison control, not sure if you have seen this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/...ansmission-swap.html
The thread starter is a Holley tuner and worked with them to allow CAN communication between Holley and TurboLamik and integrate their function. There is also some discussion about the Maxxecu option as well.
I have been very happy with my Rebel LS ecm and love all the built in features and the ability to customize. I show this in my thread on this page about 3/4 the way down. You can also download the software and check it out for free:
https://www.fiero.nl/forum/.../HTML/000123-52.html
They don't currently have transmission control for VAG DSG transmissions, but it might be worth a call to see if it is in development. When I purchased my Rebel LS in late 2023, they didn't have any transmission control, but now they have it for the GM 4L series of transmissions.
Depending on your timeline for getting everything installed and runnig, it might be worth focusing on the mechancial side and locking in the ecm/tcm at a later date to allow for more technology and development on that side. Lots of things can change on the computer side in a year.

I have a ? why can't someone take a stock ecu or tcu and completly remove the firmware software on them and load new firmware software like you would find on a standalone unit or can i take a Audi ECU and make it run the Ls with tuning software so it will comunicate with the transmission of choice from the Audi ?

Well I just got a email back from RM racing Electronics they make a ecu that can control a 8hp but it is a BMW on but they told me that if i send them the tcu from the transmission they could flash it with there BMW software and work with me to work out any issues that arise and there price is inexpensive half of everyone and it will run both the engine and transmission . https://rmracingelectronics...m-racing-electronics

I am following your project, but I have a quick question if I may? I am assuming your will do a longitudinal mount but will you make a removable brace where the truck "top beam" used to be? Your skill set is so far beyond mine this will be fun watching!
Peace my friend,
