NEW: ANTI-LAG LAUNCH

Gain the boosted advantage with iE anti-lag launch and rolling launch control included on all stages. This custom-code fuel-cut launch strategy is safe on your engine and builds 10-20+ PSI of turbo boost for an extremely powerful launch. This eliminates lag and greatly reduces 0-60, 60-foot, and accleration times. Additonally, this feature includes rolling anti-lag that will hold a set RPM and speed while building boost for a rolling launch that will deliver a surge of power and the competitve edge in a roll-racing scenario.

STAGE 1

UP TO 413HP & 429FT-LBS TORQUE

iE Stage 1 ECU calibration dramatically increases performance leaving no hidden power on the table, and safely maxes out the factory turbocharger’s horsepower & torque capability. Engineered to operate on entirely stock hardware and compatible with basic bolt-ons (intake, turbo inlet, intercooler).

  • Compatible with 100% stock hardware
  • Includes advanced TrueFlex ethanol (requires hardware)
  • RPM limit raised to 7000 RPM
  • 91, 93, & 104 pump octanes available (95, 98, & 108 RON)
  • Road speed limiters removed
  • Brake boost enabled for rolling launches
  • Engineered for all climates and elevations

Upgrading from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or beyond is simple with iE! You only need to pay the price difference between the tunes with no additional fees. Once you’ve installed the necessary matching hardware, just follow the instructions on your POWERlink app to purchase the tune upgrade, and you’ll be outperforming the competition in minutes!

STAGE 2

UP TO 461HP & 485FT-LBS TORQUE

Advanced tuning strategies extract additional power and account for the increased flow from an upgraded downpipe and matching performance hardware. The required hardware upgrades for stage 2 will increase airflow, exhaust flow, lower intake air temps, provide faster IAT recovery, and produce an overall more efficient and faster vehicle on the stock turbocharger.

  • Maximizes stock turbo power output
  • Includes advanced TrueFlex ethanol (requires hardware)
  • 91, 93, & 104 pump gas fuel maps
  • Requires downpipe upgrade
  • Exhaust crackle feature unlocked

STAGE 3 GT2260S

UP TO 490HP & 493FT-LBS TORQUE

iE Stage 3 is the complete tune suite for the popular Garrett GT2260S PowerMax turbocharger. Designed specificially for the VW/Audi MK7/MK7.5 platform, this bolt-on turbo offers a large jump in power with a much larger powerband that continues to pull all the way to red line, well beyond factory IS20 or IS38 turbos. This advanced ECU calibration when combined with the Garrett turbocharger, HPFP (fule pump) upgrade, and stage 2 hardware (intake, intercooler, & downpipe) delivers deceivingly fast performance and exhilarating fun.

  • Full tuning suite for Garrett GT2260S turbo
  • Includes advanced TrueFlex ethanol (requires hardware)
  • Massive powerband with minimal boost lag increase
  • 91, 93, & E30 fuel maps

ADDITIONAL TUNE FEATURES

HIGH & LOW TORQUE FILES

High-torque ECU calibrations maximize power gains throughout the entire powerband which quickly exceeds the torque limitations of the factory DSG calibration (auto trans) or the stock clutch (manual trans). To avoid clutch slip, iE Stage 1 & Stage 2 tunes include low torque files for vehicles with stock DSG tune or stock clutch.

Low and high torque files included with Stage 1 & 2 tunes.

HARDWARE GUIDE

Unlock the full potential of your ECU tune with our comprehensive range of iE hardware upgrades. Each tune stage is designed to work seamlessly with optional or required hardware, maximizing the enjoyment of your 2.0T engine. While Stage 1 doesn’t require any hardware upgrades, adding our intake, turbo inlet, and intercooler will result in increased airflow, lower intake air temperatures, and quicker heatsoak recovery, leading to a more efficient and faster vehicle.
