2002 - 2005 Audi A4 B6 1.8T Stage 2
2002–2005 Audi A4 1.8T Stage 2 ECU Tune (B6)
Stage 2 = The B6 Finally Goes Full Villain ?
Your B6 already has the bones to run with modern cars — Audi just kept it on a leash. BDT Stage 2 takes the leash off.
Expect a whole new car: faster spool, harder midrange hit, cleaner top-end pull, and that signature BDT punch that makes the K03 feel way bigger than it is.
This isn’t a “turn up boost and pray” file. It’s a street-proven, dyno-backed calibration built to rip without sacrificing drivability.

2002–2005 Audi A4 B6 1.8T — STAGE 2
Stage 2 is where the K03 hits its sweet spot. Boost comes in earlier, pulls harder through the midrange, and stays strong up top.
With the right supporting mods and 93 octane, you can expect around: ~265 WHP / ~285 WTQ on a healthy setup. Numbers vary by altitude, exhaust, intercooling, and maintenance — but the seat-time difference is HUGE.

AWARD-WINNING 2-STEP LAUNCH CONTROL
34+ event wins don’t happen by accident. This is real anti-lag energy — loud, crisp, and nasty in the best way.
CRACKLE POPS / OVERRUN (OPTIONAL)
Lift off at high RPM and the tune dishes out that spicy decel chatter. Stock exhaust = subtle. High-flow/downpipe = straight menace.
BOOST CONTROL DIALED
Factory boost is inconsistent and lazy. Stage 2 smooths the curve and sharpens response so your B6 surges clean through the powerband.

MAINTENANCE & HEALTH CHECK (READ THIS)
Stage 2 is safe and daily-reliable on a healthy B6. Before flashing, make sure your car is stage-2-ready so it rips clean:
- Boost/Vacuum leaks: pressure test and fix leaks first.
- Ignition: fresh coils + required BKR7EIX plugs (.028 gap).
- Diverter valve: upgraded DV required to hold higher boost.
- Exhaust: catless/high-flow downpipe REQUIRED for Stage 2.
- Fueling: confirm pump/filter health on high-mileage cars.
- PCV/crankcase system: replace brittle/leaking parts.
- Timing belt service: if overdue, handle it before more power.

Stage 2 tune
Love the tune I bought a different one when I first got the car and the tune was rough didn't work and it was from low life tuning so I got the one from boost dynamic and I enjoy driving my a4

Easy plug and play ECU
An easy intall and can do it right at home. Of course, might need tools but it only takes about 20 min to plug it in to the car. I would recommend this prodect.

Stage 2 tune
Great product, huge difference in the power. Me and my father both agree that for the gains you get, $349.99 is definitely worth it. Hell I’d be happy to get these gains spending 500
