Hi Shawn, congrats on your beetle, my mom used to drive one, so many sweet memories with it. If you want tuning, from my experience on my cars, you can do tuning along with restoration, meaning, replace your old parts with the modified parts from the start and avoid double-spending.
Anyways, here's a couple of useful things for you.
