Default individual throttle bodies & engine management

so i have a set of ITB's off a gixxer that were going to find a home on my old jetta, but then i sold it and i was wondering about coming up witha system to throw them on the box.
now i know there are currently no cams for the mighty 1.5 which will limit the effectiveness of ITB's, but the engine doesn't mind revving in it's stock form so it shouldn't be too bad of a project.
here's my initial concern, engine management, is there a system i could get that would enable me to adjust the timing and fuel to tune the setup properly
In the vw world megasquirt and spark works wonders, with the scooby the cobb accessport with pro tune software is a god sent, so is there a magic bullet i can load into my gun to fire this project out?

the cams on this motor aren't bad at all. besides you can get them reground for 95 per cam.

hmm well i think i'm going to run megasquirt on it using the map sensor and while i'm doing the port and polish i might as well send the cam out for a regrind...
and i swore i wasn't going to mod this car, now i'll need exhaust to make the back end breathe
