AWARD WINNING 2 STEP!
Our 2-step launch control is renowned worldwide for delivering the hardest-hitting, fireball-spitting, true anti-lag action! If you're ready to get rowdy and unleash some insane, chest-thumping 2-step sounds, then this is exactly what you’ve been looking for! Get ready to turn heads and set the streets on fire!
CRACKLE POPS
This exciting calibration feature, commonly referred to as overrun, enhances your driving experience in a thrilling way. When you decelerate from high RPMs or rev freely in neutral or park, you'll relish the exhilarating crackle and pop emanating from your exhaust and downpipe (though it may be less noticeable on stock exhaust setups). It’s the perfect way to add an extra dash of excitement to your already captivating exhaust sound!
BOOST CONTROL
From the factory, the ECU’s boost control delivers a rough and inconsistent boost curve, leading to sluggish response times that can be felt during extended power pulls across the vehicle's full powerband. With BDT’s Stage 1 ECU Tune, we fine-tune and polish this boost curve for an exhilarating, seamless power delivery that guarantees a sharp and immediate response when you push your car to its limits. Get ready to experience a transformation that elevates thrill and performance like never before!
