Description
With a Windows laptop computer, unleash your engine's potential while maintaining factory reliability and comfort. IE's motorsport-inspired software brings track-ready ECU programming to your vehicle while retaining factory comfort and reliability. Developed in-house, IE engineers are equipped with industry-leading tuning technology to completely reverse engineer the factory mapping and safely modify it to maximize performance. Years of professional tuning high-powered race vehicles and intimate knowledge of the VW & Audi engines results in a wicked fast car on the street or the track. Your new software tune is easily uploaded to your factory installed ECU (engine control module) without touching a wrench in your own driveway. Multiple tunes are available to match your stock or installed aftermarket hardware.
IE Stage 2 and Stage 2 Plus ECU tunes are calibrated for aftermarket downpipes to deliver a louder exhaust note and include a more aggressive exhaust overrun/crackle feature in dynamic drive mode.
The 2.9T engine includes two already efficient factory downpipes that do not result in power or exhaust restrictions on stock turbocharger ECU tunes. Although this platform does not provide additional power gains on Stage 2 tunes, IE files will provide the necessary ECU calibrations to support aftermarket downpipes for users looking for a more aggressive exhaust note.
Features:
- Horsepower & torque gains maximized
- Includes 91, 93 & E85 fuel options
- Stage 2 for full bolt-on support
- Stage 2 Plus HPFP for maximum ethanol power

- Rescaled factory boost gauge shows greater boost
- Left foot/brake boosting enabled for rolling launch
- Eliminated/minimized turbocharger surge
- Reduced turbocharger lag
- Road speed limiters removed
- More aggressive overrun/crackle in Dynamic mode
- Crackles enabled for free revving in park or neutral
- Optimized throttle scaling for dependable throttle use
- Boost control reconfigured for smooth and crisp power delivery
- Reliable fuel ratios for safe exhaust gas temps on all fuels
- Engineered for all climates and elevations
- Direct port OBDII at-home flashing
IE ECU tunes far exceed the torque limitations of the stock RS5/RS4 transmission programming, which triggers the TCU to limit power output. The included IE stage 1 TCU tune raises these torque limits while keeping all transmission driving characteristics otherwise stock.
Features:
- Increases transmission torque limits
- Enables launch control in drive, sport, and manual modes
- Includes user-adjustable launch control
- Lightning-fast shift speed
- Optimized shift points for the fastest acceleration
- Enables 7000 RPM limit in all gears in manual
- 7th and 8th gear enabled in sport mode
- Enables downshifting into 1st gear without coming to full stop
- Refined drive for the automotive enthusiast
- Reduces time for double-downshifting gears
- Line pressure increased to protect against trans slip
