Engineered to operate on entirely stock hardware and compatible with basic bolt-ons (intake, turbo inlet, intercooler).See the performance tab for power and dyno resultsMK7 IS20 STAGE 2IE Stage 2 software is for full bolt-on stock turbo builds running an aftermarket racing downpipe. IE calibrators use advanced tuning strategies to extract additional power and account for the increased flow from an upgraded downpipe and performance hardware. The required hardware upgrades for stage 2 will increase airflow, exhaust flow, lower intake air temps, provide faster IAT recovery, and produce an overall more efficient and faster vehicle on the stock IHI IS20 turbocharger. See below for a complete list of Stage 2 requirements.Upgrading from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or beyond is easy! With IE, you only pay the difference in tune cost with no extra fees. When you install the required matching hardware, follow the instructions on your IE POWERlink app to purchase the tune upgrade, and you will be blowing away the competition in minutes!HIGH/LOW TORQUE FILESIE 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) that leads to clutch slipping. Stage 1 and Stage 2 files include optional Low Torque files for vehicles with stock DSG tune or stock clutch. Both high and low torque files are included and can be switched between as often as you like.High Torque files require the additional purchase of a DSG transmission tune or clutch upgrade.FEATURES & OPTIONSTRUEFLEX ETHANOLE85 fuel unlocks the most performance potential from our ECU tunes for your GTI or A3 Gen 3 engine. 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. IE TrueFlex calibrations take this a step further and allow for 91 octane all the way up to full E85 or anything in between on one tune without the need to reflash! TrueFlex is an included option with all stages. Currently available for 2015-2018 model years, 2019+ support is coming soon.Click the TrueFlex tab above to learn more about this exciting featureINCREASED RPMTo 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.EXHAUST CRACKLEEnabling the Exhaust Crackle feature will add a motorsport-inspired crackle sound to your exhaust note when you free-rev the engine or decelerate. This feature can be flashed on or off at will with your IE POWERlink.For the most aggressive pops and bangs an aftermarket catback system is recommended.BRAKE BOOSTBrake Boosting provides a competitive edge in a roll racing scenario. While maintaining a constant speed and throttle position, apply brake pressure with the left foot to build boost at speed resulting in a rolling launch when brake pressure is released.VW MK7 / Audi 8V Rolling Anti-Lag (RAL) Launch Control What is it? Gain a boosted advantage with iE Anti-Lag Launch and Rolling Launch control included on all stages.This custom-code fuel-cut launch strategy is safe on your engine and builds 10-20+ PSI of turbo boost for an extremely powerful launch.This eliminates lag and greatly reduces 0-60, 60-foot, and acceleration times.Additionally, this feature includes rolling anti-lag that will hold a set RPM and speed while building boost for a rolling launch that will deliver a surge of power and the competitive edge in a roll-racing scenario. RELIABILITY TESTINGIE's fully proven software brings track-ready ECU programming to your EA888 Gen3 IS20 turbocharged 2.0T engine while retaining factory comfort and reliability.

After extensive research and testing, the easy bolt-in design of the German-engineered Garrett GT2260S proves itself as the optimal balance of increased top-end power, smooth power delivery, and responsive boost with unnoticeable lag over stock. Backed by Garretts reputaiton of reliability with over 65 years in leading the proffessional motorsport, aftermarket, and factory turbo applications. When combined with IE's calibration strategies, the result is modern street manners with truly addicting race-car performance.TURBO SOLD SEPARATELYGT2260S TUNE DEVELOPMENTADVANCED ENGINE MANAGEMENTInstalling your Garrett PowerMax GT2260S, IE Stage 3 ECU tune, and required hardware will deliver the maximum amount of power supported by the fuel system while staying well within the safe power limits of the stock engine internals. IE calibration and software engineers employed highly advanced tuning practices and equipment to develop a complete ground-up engine management system for the unique characteristics of the new boost profile and powerband. All performance calibrations and safety coding has been retained and rewritten for the substantial power gains from the larger Garrett turbocharger.REAL-WORLD VERIFICATIONIE calibrators performed extensive mapping rework for the larger turbo. The countless testing hours of every tune iteration have gone through thousands of dyno tests, street-tested, pushed on the track and expanded to a large beta testing community. This testing process produces a massive library of data from various vehicles, fuels, climates, weather conditions, and altitudes. That data is then used to make numerous changes to the files to maximize performance, driving characteristics, and reliability. In an early beta tune track test, the results produced high 10-second quarter mile runs!STAGE 3 GT2260S HARDWARE GUIDEPART UPGRADECOMPATIBILITYGARRETT POWERMAX GT2260S TURBOREQUIREDDSG TUNE OR CLUTCH UPGRADEREQUIREDAIR INTAKEREQUIREDINTERCOOLERREQUIREDHPFP UPGRADEREQUIREDDOWNPIPEREQUIREDTRUEFLEX SENSOR & HARNESS KITREQUIRED FOR TRUEFLEX ONLYCATBACK EXHAUSTOPTIONALTURBO INLET PIPENot compatible, GT2260S includes proprietary turbo inlet POWER GAINSNorth American Region (NAR) = AKI / Rest Of World (ROW) = RON2015-2018 MODEL YEARSSTAGE / FUELHORSEPOWERTORQUEStock VW/Audi advertised numbers210 HP258 FT-LBSStock IE dyno numbers237 HP298 FT-LBSStage 1 91 AKI / 95 RON304 HP385 FT-LBSStage 1 93 AKI / 98 RON310 HP389 FT-LBSStage 1 TrueFlex Ethanol361 HP420 FT-LBSStage 2 91 AKI / 95 RON322 HP393 FT-LBSStage 2 93 AKI / 98 RON327 HP399 FT-LBSStage 2 TrueFlex Ethanol394 HP448 FT-LBSIS38 Turbo 91 AKI / 95 RON390 HP438 FT-LBSIS38 Turbo 93 AKI / 98 RON396 HP443 FT-LBSIS38 Turbo 104 AKI / 108 RON414 HP457 FT-LBSIS38 Turbo Stock Downpipe TrueFlex Ethanol377 HP398 FT-LBSIS38 Turbo TrueFlex Ethanol409 HP459 FT-LBSStage 3 GT2260S 91 AKI / 95 RON423 HP421 FT-LBSStage 3 GT2260S 93 AKI / 98 RON435 HP432 FT-LBSStage 3 GT2260S 104 AKI / 108 RON437 HP429 FT-LBSStage 3 GT2260S TrueFlex E30462 HP456 FT-LBS2019-2021 MODEL YEARSSTAGE / FUELHORSEPOWERTORQUEStage 1 91 AKI / 95 RON304 HP385 FT-LBSStage 1 93 AKI / 98 RON310 HP389 FT-LBSStage 1 TrueFlex Ethanol363 HP409 FT-LBSStage 2 91 AKI / 95 RON322 HP393 FT-LBSStage 2 93 AKI / 98 RON327 HP399 FT-LBSStage 2 TrueFlex Ethanol385 HP415 FT-LBSIS38 Turbo 91 AKI / 95 RON401 HP457 FT-LBSIS38 Turbo 93 AKI / 98 RON409 HP462 FT-LBSIS38 Turbo 104 AKI / 108 RON420 HP474 FT-LBSFULL E85 • PUMP FUEL • INSTANT ADAPTABILITY • ONE TUNEINSTANT ADAPTABILITYIE's TrueFlex unlocks the flexibility to run full E85 down to 91 octane gas and any mix in between on a single tune without the need to reflash the ECU. IE's software engineers and calibrators have developed our own advanced TrueFlex calibration, allowing the ECU to safely adjust for ethanol content down to the exact percentage in real-time. This powerful programming brings the ease and confidence to fill up at the pump and make the most power available from your fuel choice without having to drain, verify blends, or reflash the ECU.E85 TrueFlex is an included option for all model years for stage 1 & 2. IS38 and stage 3 tunes are currently available for 2015-2018 model years only.MAXIMUM PERFORMANCEFactory equipped flex-fuel calibrations are designed to adjust for the cleanest emissions for different ethanol blends to get the highest MPG. This typically results in maximum timing for the lowest octane (91) across the entire range up to E85, leaving loads of untapped power on the table. IE TrueFlex is a complete performance adaptation that makes instant and continuous adjustments to performance maps such as boost and timing and releases the most available power for the fuel mix as it enters the cylinder.RELIABLE ETHANOLNot only does IE TrueFlex allow for amazing power potential, but it also offers the most safety from ethanol blends. The ability to truly meter and adjust for ethanol content allows the tune to instantly alter the ECU maps to keep the engine in the optimal range and protect from dangerous lean conditions. This offers amazing protection from pumps that may have lower than advertised ethanol content or if no ethanol is available. Fill up with the best quality fuel available to you, and let TrueFlex do the rest!TRUEFLEX REQUIREMENTSTRUEFLEX HARNESSThe EA888 Gen 3 2.0T engine is not equipped with any type of Flex Fuel systems from the factory and lacks the ability to sense fuel content. In order for IE's TrueFlex ECU tune to work, an IE TrueFlex Sensor Harness Kit is required. This easy to install harness kit installs a sensor capable of delivering instant fuel content data to the ECU calibration.HPFP UPGRADEEthanol offers higher power output but also requires more fuel delivery than regular pump gas. The stock High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) can not deliver enough fuel to support ethanol and must be upgraded. IE HPFP Upgrade Internal Kit ensures there will be enough fuel supply for ethanol content to run reliably at all elevations and climate conditions safely.TRUEFLEX FITMENT GUIDEMODELSUPPORTED STAGESSUPPORTED YEARSMK7 GTISTAGE 1, STAGE 2, IS38, & STAGE 32015-2018MK7.5 GTISTAGE 1 & STAGE 22019-2021MK7.5 GLISTAGE 1 & STAGE 22019-20228V A3 (AWD 2.0T)STAGE 1, STAGE 2, IS38, & STAGE 32015-20188V.5 A3 (AWD 2.0T)STAGE 1 & STAGE 22019-2021
