All stages of IE calibrations for the C7 & C7.5 S6 & S7 require a matching DSG Tune for installation. Due to turbo sizing and engine characteristics, massive torque gains are seen through the low-mid range of the powerband. This exceeds the torque limitations of the factory DSG calibration and will cause slipping in the clutch packs. The factory shift maps are also not properly tuned for the new ECU powerband and causes a large performance loss without it. Instead of sandbagging power and reducing performance, your IE ECU tune is safely engineered to fully realize all available performance, but will require the additional purchase of the DSG transmission tune to reliably take advantage of the intense power.
IE ECU calibrations are dedicated to perfecting every section of the mapping to deliver a fully realized performance file right out of the gate. Maximized for full performance potential on the drag strip and road coarse while maintaining full comfort and reliability on your daily commute. Get ready to experience IE's Performance Software For your Audi EA824 4.0T V8 engine in only minutes from the comfort of your home garage or driveway.
The factory ECU calibration includes many compromises removed by your IE Tune. One of the most problematic is the stock cylinder deactivation which attempts to increase fuel economy by only running 4 cylinders when cruising. This causes rough shift, loss of power, and is believed to cause early failures of motor mounts. Cylinder deactivation is completely turned off by default. If you want to keep cylinder deactivation, we will reactivate on request.
E85 fuel unlocks the most performance potential from our ECU tunes for your Audi S6 or S7. Ethanol contains tons of oxygen, burns cooler, and has a high resistance to knock. This provides more horsepower and torque than running conventional gasoline and is more readily available (in most states) and less expensive than race gas. E85 is an optional fuel map included with all tune purchases.
Although full E85 is recommended for the highest power output, safeguards are included within the E85 ECU calibrations to adjust for ethanol as low as E65. This flexibility gives you the confidence to safely fill up at the pump which can commonly test lower than advertised.
