Stage 1 is designed for owners looking to unlock more performance while retaining the factory hardware. The calibration delivers improved throttle response, stronger acceleration, and a broader torque curve, transforming the driving experience without requiring additional modifications.
The TT-S has long been a favourite among Audi enthusiasts, combining compact dimensions, quattro grip, and turbocharged performance into a genuinely rewarding driver's car. Stage 1 builds on these strengths with a carefully refined calibration that delivers stronger performance throughout the rev range while maintaining the smooth drivability expected from a well-developed tune.
Whether on a winding back road or the daily commute, Stage 1 enhances the character of the TT-S while preserving the balance that makes it such an engaging platform.

Stage 1.5 builds upon the foundation of Stage 1, delivering an additional increase in performance through a calibration optimized for 93 octane fuel, while retaining the factory hardware. By taking advantage of the higher octane fuel, the calibration unlocks additional power and torque, providing stronger acceleration and an even more responsive driving experience.
The TT-S is renowned for its blend of compact agility, quattro traction, and impressive tuning potential. Stage 1.5 builds on these strengths, extracting the maximum performance available from the factory hardware while maintaining the refined drivability expected of a well-developed calibration.
It's the ideal option for owners with access to 93 octane fuel who want to get the most from their TT-S without additional hardware modifications.
93 Octane Fuel / 98 RON
Stage 2 is designed for owners looking to unlock the full potential of the factory turbocharger through the addition of the required supporting hardware upgrades. With a more aggressive tune and increased performance throughout the rev range, Stage 2 delivers stronger acceleration and an even more engaging driving experience than Stage 1.5.
The TT-S has long been a favourite among Audi enthusiasts thanks to its compact chassis, quattro traction, and exceptional tuning potential. Stage 2 builds on those strengths while retaining the character that makes the platform so rewarding to drive.
A Stage 2 tune requires 93 octane fuel, an upgraded downpipe, and an upgraded high-pressure fuel pump. An upgraded exhaust system is also recommended. These hardware requirements must be installed before a Stage 2 tune can be applied.

Custom Tuning starts at $1699. To get a more accurate cost on your custom tune, please create a ticket and tell us more about your build, and your specific modifications.
If you feel that our existing tune offerings will not work for your application or your intended use, you can request Custom Tuning. Custom Tuning must be requested through our Tickets, and you must provide vehicle information as well as hardware (upgrades) information. Once submitted, our team of calibrators will evaluate your request and determine if Custom Tuning can achieve your goals and if they are able, your Tune Request will be accepted.
Custom Tuning requires heavy participation from the Customer, either through an Authorized TZ Dealer or the Customer themselves. TuneZilla Calibrators will require that the vehicle has access to dyno time when needed, and data logging is required. If you are not comfortable with data logging, and if you may not be able to access a facility with a dyno (many facilities will rent dyno time) custom tuning may not be possible for you.
Custom Tuning vs. Off The Shelf Tuning
We understand that our end users have varying driving styles and build purposes, which is why we offer revisions on all of our Off-The-Shelf tunes. By offering Custom Tuning to our customers, we can be sure you are getting the most out of your vehicle with your specific parts upgrades. Our OTS (off-the-shelf) maps are tested in house with as many variables as possible to ensure even if you don’t want to customize your tune, your vehicle’s OEM sensors and adaptations will still be able to optimize our tunes to your region’s fuel and most bolt-on upgrades. Tune Revisions are not the same as Custom Tunes. See our Terms and Conditions for our re-tune policy (section 4b)
We believe it’s important for our customers to understand what is happening inside their engine so they can make informative decisions. Our LOG VIEWER automatically generates your vehicles data log .csv files into easy to read graphs which can then be viewed by our Calibrators to find areas of optimization on your vehicle. Not only can this data be used to optimize your tunes, but a lot of troubleshooting and diagnosing can be done by comparing requested data to actual data at a glance.
In many cases, custom tuning is not required. If you are unsure if you will benefit from a Custom Tune, you can reach out to our team and upload data logs for them to examine.

Our DSG tune is a complete re-work of the factory DSG settings. We’ve worked with our calibrators to bring you a perfect all around package that enhances drivability and increases enjoyment. In manual mode, you have full control of your upshifts with the “auto up-shift” disabled. Clutch pressure is increased across all drive modes to handle the increased torque from our Stage 1 or 2 files, but still works with a factory tuned ECU for users who simply demand a more spirited transmission than the factory supplied.
