EQT Sauce Management Device (SMD) - VW/Audi MQBe 2.0T
EQT's in-house tuning interface.
The Sauce Management Device — SMD — is EQT's new flash tool geared for the MQBe (VW MK8/Audi 8Y) platform. This is allowing us to add desired features like ECU based MPI integration to support higher power options like upgraded turbos and full E85. We are also working on adding new custom features like Flex Fuel, Custom Launch Control, Traction Control, and more.
Launch Support
The SMD is available exclusively for the MK8/8Y platforms. There is currently no timeline for support for any additional platforms.
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 tune stage has different hardware requirements. Select your vehicle below to see exact requirements per stage.

Custom Build. Custom Sauce
Tuning Tailored to Your Build
Off-the-shelf tunes work for off-the-shelf builds. If your setup is anything else, we'll write a calibration that's yours and yours only.
Support for Custom Hardware
Added calibrations for upgraded turbos, multi-port injection, boost sensors, and much more!
Multiple Tune Revisions
Work with your calibrator one-on-one until your tune is perfected for your setup!
Live Tuning Sessions
Don't want to wait in-between revisions? We offer complimentary live tuning sessions so you can knock your tune out in just a couple of hours.
Flash Base Map
Recieve your basemap and flash on the car.
Send Datalogs
Send your calibrator the initial base map data log from your car.
Rinse and Repeat
Continue receiving revisions and taking data logs until your tune is finalized
Drive and Enjoy
That's it, your all done!
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.
While we would love to have you try out our new ecosystem, EQT tunes for the Cobb platform aren’t going anywhere. We’ll continue offering new files, revisions, and updates for Accessport users, so you can keep flashing, logging, and dialing in your setup with the tools you already know. If you move to the EQT SMD later, great, but it’s optional. Your Cobb-backed build stays fully supported.
