STAGE 1: UP TO 457HP & 460FT-LBS TORQUE

The iE Stage 1 ECU tune is a simple flash-only upgrade that overhauls the factory engine computer and delivers instant power. Enjoy a broader powerband, a thrilling 7000RPM rev limit, enthusiast drive mapping, snappy thorttle response, removed speed limiters, and increased boost pressures for faster 0-60 times and stronger acceleration. Stage 1 can be installed on a stock vehicle and adapts to intake and intercooler upgrades. Includes 91, 93, 104, and E85 octane options.

E85 ETHANOL FUEL

Unlock the power of ethanol! E85 acts like rocket fuel for your daily driver and offers extreme saefty by running cooler than gasoline and offering high knock resistance. Though fuel consumption increases by up to 35%, E85’s lower cost per gallon compared to 104 race fuel balances out. Stage 1 supports E60-E85 ethanol blends.

REV FREE

Experience more power at higher RPMs with a raised engine speed limiter of 7000 RPM. You can also free-rev your engine in park or neutral with the limiter increased to 6750 RPM.

BRAKE BOOST

Dominate in roll racing with Brake Boost. Hold speed and throttle, then apply brake pressure with your left foot to build boost while rolling, creating a rolling launch and surge of power once the brake is released.

RESCALED POWER GAUGES

Get accurate readings with rescaled factory boost, power, and torque gauges that match your new performance output. We’ve also smoothed out the gauge animation for more precise and refined display readings.

AUTO START/STOP MEMORY

Take control of your driving experience with an auto start/stop button that remembers your preferred setting—even after you turn off the car.

FAN LAUNCH STRATEGY

Launch control generates a lot of heat. With iE’s Fan Launch Strategy, the cooling fan kicks in at higher speeds when launch control is engaged to keep intake air temperatures low, giving you maximum power from the start.

POWER & SAFETY

Your iE high-performance tune is designed to extract maximum power from the engine and turbocharger while maintaining safety and everyday comfort. All factory safety protocols have been reprogrammed and expanded to accommodate the new tuning parameters. Years of in-house dyno testing, location verification, and advanced fsactory-level testing equipment ensures reliability in any condition. Confidently drive from LA to Pikes Peak, knowing your car is protected and performing at its best.

OPTIMIZED PEDAL MAPPING

The torque request and throttle maps have been etirely reworked to deliver an ultra-responsive and connected driving experience. Enjoy a linear throttle with smooth and depandable power delivery.

TCU TUNE

Unlock the full potential of your iE ECU tune with our matching TCU (Transmission Control Unit) tune. Enhancing shift speeds, removing torque limiters, preventing transmission slip, and introducing adjustable launch control, this upgrade delivers a dramatic improvement in launch power, pulling force, shift responsiveness, and overall acceleration.

FULL POWER ON ANY TRANSMISSION

Factory transmission calibrations include torque limiters that reduce engine power when power limits are exceeded. The iE TCU Tune raises these limits, allowing your engine tune to deliver full power and torque. For models with locked TCUs or customers who don’t purchase the TCU tune, iE’s innovative ECU tune communicates torque from the ECU side, ensuring full horsepower and torque output without relying on a reduced power “Low Torque” file or tune.

VARIABLE LAUNCH CONTROL

Get ready for explosive launches with iE’s variable launch control. Choose between three launch RPM settings to dial in the perfect balance of grip and power for your vehicle’s setup. Each setting includes two RPM settings engaged by the throttle position:

Apply 100% throttle input without engaging the kickdown switch to launch from the minimal chosen RPM.

Engage full pedal pressure while activating the kickdown switch to launch with additional RPMs, delivering the most aggressive launch.

DRIVING ENHANCEMENTS

The stock transmission tuning often doesn’t meet the demands of performance enthusiasts. iE’s TCU tune fully revamps the transmission drive-mapping strategy, ensuring precise, enthusiast-focused performance for every drive. Enjoy a much more responsive transmission with crisp, fast shifts and buttery smooth power delivery.
