BDT Stage 1 ECU + TCU Tune
2017–2022 Audi S4 / S5 3.0T (B9)
BDT Stage 1 combines an in-house ECU calibration with an optimized AL552 8-speed TCU tune. The result is a harder-hitting S4/S5 that not only makes more power, but actually uses it — with smarter shift logic, faster shifts, and better overall drivability. +101 HP / +205 TQ over stock.

Power Gains
| Configuration | HP | TQ |
|---|---|---|
| Stock BDT Baseline | 345 HP | 365 TQ |
| Stage 1 ECU + TCU | 446 HP | 570 TQ |
| Total Gain | +101 HP | +205 TQ |
| Stage 2 (high-flow exhaust req.) | 480 HP | 580 TQ |
ECU gains measured at the wheels. TCU changes improve real-world acceleration further.
Mod Requirements
Stage 1 requires no hardware modifications. Stock hardware friendly. Intake, intercooler, and high-flow exhaust are not required but enhance results at Stage 2.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2?
A: Stage 1 is ideal for stock or lightly modified S4/S5. Stage 2 is for cars running a high-flow exhaust and supporting mods for more aggressive power.
Q: Do I need the TCU tune?
A: It's not required, but strongly recommended. The TCU tune raises torque limits, improves shift logic, and enables launch control. Without it, the transmission may limit how much of the ECU's power you actually feel.
Q: What do I need for Stage 2?
A: A high-flow exhaust is required. Intake and intercooler are strongly recommended.
Q: What fuel does it support?
A: 91/93 octane pump gas.
Q: Can I flash at home?
A: Yes. 100% remote with live support from the actual calibrator. A Windows laptop is required.
Q: Can I adjust crackle levels?
A: Yes. Low, Medium, or Intense levels available on request.
