BDT Stage 1 ECU Tune
2017–2020 Audi A4 / A5 2.0T TFSI (B9)
Audi built the B9 2.0T to be smooth — then they tuned it like a lease return. BDT Stage 1 is the factory fix your A4/A5 should've shipped with. Harder midrange torque, faster spool, cleaner pulls, and instant throttle snap — without turning your daily into a drama queen.

Crackle Pops (Overrun)
Optional overrun available by request. Activates only in Dynamic/Sport. Three levels: Low / Medium / High. Subtle on stock exhaust, wild on freer-flowing setups. Calibrated with RPM windows and exhaust temp safeties.
Boost Control
Factory boost can feel uneven during long pulls. BDT Stage 1 refines boost control for a linear, predictable surge with improved response and stability — especially when you roll into it mid-gear.
