Frequently asked questions

Got questions? Here's everything we've seen you ask :)

Map Packs are bundled tune files included with every EQT staged tune purchase. Instead of buying one calibration, you get the full set of fuel and feature variations for your stage — and you can switch between them anytime, right from your phone or laptop.

Every Stage 1 and Stage 2 Map Pack includes:

  • 3 octane variants — 91/92, 93/94, and E85
  • Multiple burble configurations
  • Low-torque files
  • High-torque files
  • LPFP support files (Mk8 GTI only)

Run pump gas during the week, switch to E85 for the weekend, all without buying a new variation of your tune. One purchase, every variation, full control.

If bought the EQT stage 1 map pack and are ready for more, you can upgrade to the Stage 2 map pack for $100

Every Stage 2 map pack purchase comes with the full Stage 1 Map Pack at no extra cost. Run Stage 2 when your hardware's ready, drop back to Stage 1 anytime you need to — same device, same flash, no re-purchase.

Yes. We are constantly working on new features for the SMD platform, including Flex Fuel, Custom Launch Control, Custom Traction Control, No-Lift Shift, and more.
