FAST AND EASY SUPPORT
EFFORTLESS E85
Ethanol is like rocket fuel for everyday driving. Our TrueFlex flex-fuel conversion kit upgrades your engine's original ECU to read and instantly adapt to any ethanol blend, unlocking significantly more power.
More information
TrueFlex programming is included in all Stage levels. Additional hardware required.
FULL POWER FROM ANY TRANSMISSION
2021 and later and some 2019-2020 models feature a Gen 2 Transmission Control Unit (TCU) with advanced factory-level security that prevents programming. The standard TCU software includes limiters that cut engine power when torque limits generated by ECU programming are exceeded.
For Q5 models equipped with a locked TCU, our calibration team has recoded the engine control unit (ECU) to properly manage torque signals between the engine and transmission. This advanced strategy allows for full horsepower and torque levels to be safely achieved even without TCU programming.
Included in all Stage levels and octane options.

EASY LEVEL UPGRADES
Upgrading from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or beyond is easy. With iE, you only pay the difference in software price, with no additional fees. Once the required hardware is installed, follow the instructions in the IE POWERlink app and purchase the upgrade – you’ll be up and running in minutes.
UPDATE GUIDE
While Stage 1 does not require hardware upgrades, upgrading the intake system and intercooler will improve airflow, lower intake air temperatures, and speed up the recovery of thermal management.
