2017 - 2020 Audi A4 B9 A4 A5 2.0t Stage 2
BDT Stage 2 ECU Tune
Audi B9 A4 / A5 2.0T TFSI EA888 Gen 3
Slide behind the wheel, tap the start button, and feel the difference immediately — this isn’t your stock A4/A5 anymore. BDT Stage 2 transforms the 2.0T into a sleeper missile: faster spool, stronger mid-range torque, and crisp power delivery that stays smooth enough to daily. Whether you’re carving backroads, cruising the freeway, or flexing on a night run, this calibration brings the car alive the way Audi should’ve from day one.
Refined when you want it. Savage when you don’t.

B9 A4 / A5 Stage 2 ECU Tune
From the factory, the B9 A4/A5 2.0T delivers a smooth ~232 HP / 262 TQ. With BDT Stage 2, expect up to ~362 HP / ~442 TQ on 93 octane. That’s a massive bump in usable torque and mid-range pull while keeping daily drivability and OEM-style safety logic intact.
Crackle Pops (Overrun)
Optional overrun/crackle adds controlled pops on decel in Dynamic/Sport mode. We offer three levels (Low / Medium / High) so you can match your vibe. Subtle on stock exhaust, wild on aftermarket setups — always tuned with RPM windows and exhaust-temp safeties.
Dyno-Verified Power Gains
Expected Stage 2 gains on 93 octane: up to ~362 HP / ~442 TQ. Results vary with dyno type, altitude, weather, fuel quality, and hardware condition.
| STAGE | HORSEPOWER | TORQUE |
|---|---|---|
| Stock Audi Advertised | 232 HP | 262 FT-LBS |
| Stage 2 93 Octane | ~362 HP | ~442 FT-LBS |
ECU Tune Modification Requirements
Stage 2 hardware (quick view): A high-flow downpipe is REQUIRED. Intake and intercooler upgrades are strongly recommended for heat control and repeatable gains. A TCU/DSG tune is highly recommended where equipped.

|---|---|---|
| TCU / DSG Tune | HIGHLY RECOMMENDED | |
| Air Intake | X | |
| Intercooler | X | |
| Drivetrain Insert Upgrades | X | |

IF YOU WANT YOUR CAR TO SURVIVE, THESE MUST BE DONE!
I WANT YOUR CAR TO SURVIVE MULTIPLE YEARS TO COME WITH MY TUNE. I DON'T RECOMMEND THESE FOR FUN. I HAVE TUNED COUNTLESS EA888 CARS AND THIS IS WHAT I'VE SEEN THROUGH THE YEARS. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD THE PARTS, PLEASE DON'T TUNE YOUR CAR. BEING STRAIGHT FORWARD SO YOU DON'T BLAME MY TUNE.
