BDT Stage 1 Tune Features

Passat 2.0T Stage 1

Boost Dynamic Tuning’s Stage 1 ECU calibration methodically increases performance with gains up to 320 HP & 385–400 TQ (setup dependent), without sacrificing drivability or reliability. This file is designed to safely maximize the factory turbocharger’s potential with OEM-style safety strategy.

Crackle Pops (Overrun)

This feature is also known as overrun. When decelerating from higher RPMs (or free-revving in neutral/park), you’ll hear controlled pops in the exhaust. Subtle on factory exhaust — more noticeable with freer-flowing setups. Tuned with RPM windows and safety logic so it stays fun and controlled.

Boost Control

From the factory, boost delivery can be bumpy and uneven, which hurts response and long pulls. BDT Stage 1 refines and smooths the curve for crisp, repeatable power delivery when pushing the car through the full powerband.
