2.0T Tiguan STAGE 1
Boost Dynamic Tuning’s Stage 1 ECU calibration safely unlocks the hidden performance in your Tiguan, delivering gains up to ~250 HP & ~300 WTQ on 93 octane with a smooth OEM+ powerband. Power comes on clean, predictable, and strong—without sacrificing daily reliability.
CRACKLE POPS (OVERRUN)
Also known as overrun. On decel from higher RPMs or when free-revving in neutral/park, you’ll hear sharp crackles/pops from the exhaust/downpipe. (Harder to hear on stock exhaust.) It adds the perfect bit of spice to your Tiguan’s tone.
BOOST CONTROL
Factory boost control can feel uneven and lazy. BDT’s Stage 1 tune reshapes the boost curve for crisp throttle response, linear torque delivery, and repeatable pull after pull.

I WANT YOUR CAR TO SURVIVE MULTIPLE YEARS TO COME WITH MY TUNE. I DON'T JUST RECOMMEND THESE FOR FUN. I HAVE TUNED COUNTLESS MQB/EA888 CARS AND THIS IS WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED THROUGH THE YEARS. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE PARTS, PLEASE DON'T TUNE YOUR CAR.
