BDT Stage 2 ECU Tune — 2015–2019 Audi A3 2.0T AWD (MQB • EA888 Gen 3 • IS20)
Stop leaving horsepower on the table. Your turbocharged Gen 3 IS20 is begging to be unleashed — and BDT’s Stage 2 ECU calibration is the key. We turn your A3 from “daily commuter” into a street-dominating sleeper with hit-hard torque, razor throttle response, and OEM-grade reliability. With BDT’s remote OBDII flash, it’s plug, flash, and go. Commute all week; gap the field on the weekend.

Best Tune I’ve Ever Experienced
This is easily most fun i’ve had in a car in a long time and it catches me by surprise everyday . First and foremost Trent Is The Nicest And The Most Easiest Tuner To Work With And Made Everything Easier For Me. If You’re In The Market For A Tune And You Stumble Along This One Make Sure To Pick It Because You Won’t Regret It.
