Exclusively Tuned by Boost Dynamic Tuning — Built by Enthusiasts, for Enthusiasts
If you own a TT, you didn’t buy it to be “pretty quick.” You bought it for that perfect mix of style, balance, and speed — and you know there’s more hiding under the hood. At Boost Dynamic Tuning, we don’t do generic flashes. We write in-house Stage 2 calibrations that bring your EA888 Gen 3 to life with real data, real testing, and a feel you’ll notice instantly.
With 11+ years of hands-on tuning experience, dyno-verified development, and street/track validation, our Stage 2 ECU Tune turns your daily TT into a confident backroad weapon — smooth when you want it, savage when you don’t. No gimmicks. No mystery additives. Just fast, reliable, repeatable performance.

This isn’t just tuning — it’s precision-built calibration that transforms the way your TT drives.
Built for the Streets. Proven on the Dyno.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What mods are required for BDT Stage 2 on my Audi TT 8S?
A: Stage 2 requires a high-flow downpipe. Intake, intercooler, and drivetrain inserts are strongly recommended for best temps, consistency, and traction.
Q: Is Stage 2 safe on the stock IS20 turbo?
A: Yes — when the required hardware and maintenance are followed. We build Stage 2 around safe boost, EGT, and IAT targets with multiple layers of protection to keep the IS20 alive long-term.
Q: What fuel do I need?
A: Maps 1–3 are designed for 91/93 octane depending on your file. Map 4 is a race map and requires 100 octane. If you don’t have the fuel, don’t run the map.
Q: Do I need a TCU tune for DSG?
A: You don’t *need* it to flash Stage 2, but it’s highly recommended. A TCU tune improves clutch pressure, shift logic, and torque handling so the car performs the way it should.
Q: How does multi-map switching work?
A: You switch between 5 maps on the fly using cruise control buttons. Each map has its own boost/behavior setup so your TT can go from daily to race to valet in seconds.
