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
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!
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
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
ADDITIONAL TUNE FEATURES
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.
Low and high torque files included with Stage 1 & 2 tunes.
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.
Exhaust Crackle is included on stage 2 and higher tunes.
To take advantage of the new larger power band, factory rev limits have been raised to 7000RPM in all stages. On DSG equipped cars, the transmission will shift slightly before the new engine RPM (6900RPM).
DSG Tune is required to unlock higher RPM.
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.

TUNE UPDATES
Your tune purchase entitles you to free updates to any tune revisions, new octanes, standard features, or software updates. In the event the original vehicle manufacturer issues an ECU update, this will also be included to you through iE at no additional charge.
POWERLINK VINS
Have multiple cars in the family or friends that are also ready for an iE Tune? Your POWERlink Flash Tool can be used on up to 5 different vehicle VINs. Tunes sold separately.
TUNE REGISTRATION
Once a tune purchase is applied to your vehicle's ECU, the tune is permanently registered to the vehicle and non-transferable to other vehicles. Tunes can be transferred to a second party in the event of vehicle transfer of ownership only.
