BDT Stage 2 ECU Tune

2016–2023 Audi TT (8S • EA888 Gen 3 • IS20)

Your TT already turns heads — but from the factory it’s holding back. BDT Stage 2 unlocks what the 8S TT was always meant to feel like: sharper throttle, harder mid-range pull, and power that stays clean to redline. The result is a car that feels lighter on its feet, quicker everywhere, and more fun every time you roll into boost.

Multi-Map Layout (5 Maps)

How switching works

You switch between 5 maps on the fly using cruise control buttons. Each map has its own boost/behavior setup.

Map behavior is performance-focused and intended for appropriate use cases. Always match fuel to the map.

Fuel rule (important)

Map 4 requires 100 octane. If you don’t have the fuel, don’t run the map.

Maps 1–3 are designed for 91/93 octane depending on your file.

  • Map 1: Daily (low boost), RAL ON, 2-Step ON, Pops OFF
  • Map 2: Daily (standard), RAL ON, 2-Step ON, Pops OFF
  • Map 3: Race — NORMAL TIMING, RAL ON, 2-Step ON, Pops ON
  • Map 4: RACE — HIGH BOOST, HIGH TIMING, RAL ON, 2-Step ON, Pops ON, 100 OCTANE REQUIRED
  • Map 5: Valet — RAL OFF, 2-Step OFF, Pops OFF

Frequently Asked Questions

What mods are required for BDT Stage 2 on my Audi TT 8S?
Stage 2 requires a high-flow downpipe. Intake, intercooler, and drivetrain inserts are strongly recommended for best temps, consistency, and traction.
Is Stage 2 safe on the stock IS20 turbo?
Yes — when the required hardware and maintenance are followed. Stage 2 is built around safe boost behavior with IAT/EGT targets and multiple layers of protection to support long-term reliability.
What fuel do I need?
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.
Do I need a TCU tune for DSG?
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.
How does multi-map switching work?
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.
