IE Performance Tune For VW MK7 GTI/GLI / 8V Audi A3 2.0T

Take control of your VW GTI, GLI or Audi A3 by unlocking thrilling power and acceleration from your phone! Our cutting-edge engine and transmission tunes transform your car through the innovative POWERlink Bluetooth dongle that plugs into your vehicle's OBD II port. Our responsive mobile app links the dongle to your Apple or Android phone, giving you the power to tune your car, change octanes, upgrade stages, perform diagnostics, monitor live gauge data, and more —all from the palm of your hand!

EFFORTLESS E85

Ethanol is rocket fuel for your GTI, GLI, or A3. Our TrueFlex flex fuel conversion kit upgrades the factory engine computer to read and instantly adapt to any ethanol blend, unleashing huge power.

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 (non-IS38) tunes include low torque files for vehicles with stock DSG tune or stock clutch.

EXHAUST CRACKLE

Exhaust Crackle feature adds an addicitng motorsport-inspired crackle sound to your exhaust note when you let off the accelerator or downshift above 3K RPM. This feature is active in Sport Mode or Sport Manual Mode so you can enjoy this feature when you want, and stay civil when you need it.

BRAKE BOOST

Commonly used in roll racing, Brake Boosting allows you to build extra boost by applying brake pressure while accelerating. Release the brake pressure for a "rolling launch" or extra surge of power.

Brake Boost is included on all tune stages.

ECU Tunes:

Stage 1: UP TO 361HP & 420FT-LBS TORQUE

iE Stage 1 ECU calibration dramatically increases performance leaving no hidden power oE Stage 1 ECU calibration maximizes performance by fully utilizing the factory IHI IS20 turbocharger's horsepower and torque capabilities. Designed to work with 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

 

Stage 2: UP TO 394HP & 448FT-LBS TORQUE

iE calibrators employ advanced tuning strategies to harness additional power and account for increased flow from an upgraded downpipe and matching performance hardware. Required hardware upgrades for Stage 2 increase airflow, exhaust flow, lower intake air temperatures, provide faster IAT recovery, and result in a 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 2 IS38: UP TO 420HP & 474FT-LBS TORQUE

iE Stage 2+ IS38 takes power to the next level by incorporating the larger IHI IS38 turbocharger found on the VW Golf R or Audi S3. This larger factory turbo is a direct bolt-on upgrade, delivering additional boost and larger power gains when combined with full Stage 2 hardware and tuning.

• Requires factory Golf R/S3 IHI IS38 turbocharger
• Includes advanced TrueFlex ethanol (requires hardware)
• 91, 93, & 104 pump gas fuel maps
• Stock downpipe file available

 

Stage 3: UP TO 462HP & 456FT-LBS TORQUE

iE Stage 3 is the ultimate tuning suite for the Garrett GT2260S PowerMax turbocharger. Specifically designed for the VW/Audi MQB platform, this bolt-on turbo provides a significant power increase with a much broader powerband that pulls all the way to the redline, far surpassing the factory IS20 or IS38 turbos. This advanced ECU calibration, combined with the Garrett turbocharger, HPFP (fuel pump) upgrade, and Stage 2 hardware (intake, intercooler, and downpipe), delivers incredibly fast performance and exhilarating driving 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

 

Features:

• Innovative mobile tuning for an easy install
• Thrilling power and acceleration gains
• 91, 93, & 104 fuel maps included
• Includes TrueFlex ethanol flex-fuel
• Supports stock and upgraded hardware
• Unlocks many advanced tuning features

 

TCU TUNE

IE's DQ250 (2015-2018) and DQ381 (2019+) are complete performance transmission calibrations that delivers lightening fast shifts, increased clutch pressures, multiple launch-control modes, enthusiast drive mapping, and more! Pairing the iE TCU calibration with any stage ECU tune will significantly transform every aspect of your GTI, GLI, or A3, delivering faster launches, higher Gs, and further improved acceleration.

• Required for Stage 1 & 2 high-torque tunes
• Required for IS38 or GT2260S turbo upgrades
• Includes user-adjustable launch control settings
• Lightning-fast shift speed
• Lag time reduced when starting off in first gear
• Enables 7000 RPM limit in all gears in manual
• Drive shift mapping entirely reworked with an enthusiast in mind
• Torque limiter programming removed -get the most from your ECU tune
• Line pressure increased to protect against trans slip
• Advanced temperature protection for safety
• Greatly reduces annoying gear hunting

 

INCREASED RPM

The iE DSG Tune unlocks a raised 7000 RPM limit from your ECU Tune so you can enjoy the power gains much deeper into the rev range and take full advantage of larger turbo upgrades with larger powerbands.
