2002 - 2005 1.8T 225 Stage 2 (remote tune)
Our Stage 2 Tune is everything you’ve been looking for to wake up the potential of your car! We offer a high quality tune that will help your car perfor
BDT Stage 2 ECU Tune
2000–2006 Audi TT 1.8T 180HP (Mk1 • 20V Turbo)
If your Mk1 TT still feels “quick for its age,” it’s because Audi left a ton on the table. BDT Stage 2 is where the 1.8T finally wakes up and starts acting like a real turbo car. We’re talking harder spool, stronger mid-range shove, and a TT that pulls clean to redline without that mushy factory hesitation.
This isn’t a generic file. It’s a dialed-in calibration built to max out the stock turbo safely with the right supporting mods. Remote flashing means you can install from your driveway — no gimmicks, no stress, just results.
Drive it daily. Launch it anytime. Make your TT feel alive again.

Crackle Pops / Overrun (Optional)
Want that TT to snap, burble and crack on decel? Stage 2 supports adjustable overrun. Stock exhaust is subtle — a downpipe/catback makes it nasty (exactly how you want it).
Boost Control Optimization
Factory boost control is bumpy and inconsistent. Our calibration smooths the curve so every pull feels clean, strong, and repeatable — no dips, no weird surge, just steady shove.
