Flash It. Drive It. Enjoy It
Pick a Stage. We'll Handle the Rest. Every staged tune is developed in-house, tested on the platforms we live on, and matched to a defined hardware recipe — so you know exactly what you're getting and exactly what supports it.
Staged Tuning, Done Right.
Every stage is calibrated for power you can feel, drivability you'll actually live with, and a build path that scales with you.
More Sauce, More Options, All Bundled
Each map pack includes every fuel and feature variation. Switch between fuel octanes, burble settings, octane, and more, whenever you want, all from phone or laptop.
Each Mk8 GTI tune stages have different hardware requirements. See below to find the exact requirements per stage.

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.
