For GTI models with locked TCUs, our calibration team has custom-coded the engine control unit (ECU) programming to properly manage torque signals to and from the transmission. This advanced strategy safely enables full horsepower and torque, even without a TCU tune. Stage 1 & 2 low torque files are included for manual transmissions w/stock clutch. { "__shgImageV2Elements": { "uuid": "s-1e91fb30-6c88-4b66-aae0-b34ad41eab28" } } STAGE 1 UP TO 457 HP & 460 FT-LBS TORQUE The iE Stage 1 ECU tune delivers an easy 46% more horsepower and 56% more torque on stock hardware. This simple flash-only upgrade overhauls your engine computer with massive power gains, increased rev limit, enthusiast drive mapping, snappy throttle response, and increased boost pressures. Enjoy faster 0-60 times and stronger acceleration in only minutes from your phone! Includes 91, 93, and 104 octane Includes E60-E85 ethanol RPM limit raised to 7000 RPM Free revving enabled in neutral/park Road speed limiters removed Brake boost enabled for rolling launches Shielded with iE AutoProtect Advanced launch control fan strategy Auto-start/stop defaults to off Recalibrated factory gauge displays higher boost/power { "__shgImageElements": { "uuid": "s-d74f5655-466c-4561-b641-a071f284fffb" } } STAGE 2 UP TO 462 HP & 460 FT-LBS TORQUE Ready for the next step? Jump to Stage 2 by upgrading your intake and intercooler to unlock more power. This tune retains all Stage 1 features while taking full advantage of increased airflow, lower intake air temps, and faster heat recovery to deliver 147 HP and 165ft-lbs over stock. Exhaust lovers will love the added overrun/crackle feature.

UPGRADE GUIDE PART UPGRADE STAGE 1 STAGE 2 AIR INTAKE OPTIONAL REQUIRED INTERCOOLER OPTIONAL REQUIRED TCU TUNE OPTIONAL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED CATBACK EXHAUST OPTIONAL OPTIONAL PROCORE DOWNPIPE OPTIONAL OPTIONAL iE's advance catalyst ProCore Downpipe is the only recommended option. Non-iE downpipes will result in a check-engine light. INCLUDED FEATURES E85 READY Unlock the power of ethanol! Stage 1 & 2 supports E60-E85 ethanol blends that produce the highest power output due to running cooler and have a higher knock resistance than 91/93 pump gas. EXHAUST OVERRUN Stage 2 files add an aggressive exhaust ovverrun/crackle in sport or R modes when you let off the throttle, downshift, or decel from higher RPM. This feature is also available when free-revving in neutral or park. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.Exhaust overrun is included with Stage 2 tuning. REV FREE A raised engine speed limiter of 7000 RPM gives you more power at higher RPMs. Free-rev your engine in park or neutral with the limiter increased to 6750 RPM. BRAKE BOOST Brake Boost gives you a rolling launch. While giving throttle input, use your left foot on the brake to build boost while maintaining your desired speed. When ready, let off the brake for a surge of power and boosted take-off for the competitive edge in a roll racing scenario. RESCALED POWER GAUGES Get accurate readings with rescaled factory boost, power, and torque gauges that match your new performance output. We’ve also smoothed out the gauge animation for more precise and refined display readings. AUTO START/STOP MEMORY Take control of your driving experience with an auto start/stop button that remembers your preferred setting—even after you turn off the car. FAN LAUNCH STRATEGY When launch control is engaged, iE’s Fan Launch Strategy keeps intake air temperatures low by kicking on the cooling fan to give you maximum power from the start. AUTOPROTECT Even with the best tuning, unreliable fuel and mechanical failures still pose a risk to any engine. iE AutoProtect is your last line of defense against engine damage. If trouble pops up AutoProtect lowers boost and power to keep your engine safe against damage. When conditions return to normal, power automatically restores. Our unique error code is triggered so we can help pinpoint the problem. LEARN MORE AutoProtect is included on all stages THROTTLE RESPONSE The torque request and throttle maps have been entirely reworked to deliver an ultra-responsive and connected driving experience. Enjoy a sporty throttle with smooth and dependable power delivery. { "__shgSlider": { "id": "#slider-s-1fdc0ce1-7b34-4cd2-902d-c2df5403babf", "intervalTime": 5, "autoplay": false, "pauseOnHover": false, "transition": "animate__noAnimation", "interval": null } } { "__shgImageElements": { "uuid": "s-712e8921-05aa-4c47-9c4b-56cbf2b4eaff" } } { "__shgImageV2Elements": { "uuid": "s-cb0b18fa-7131-48f3-9b46-7f8a2fca869d" } } WE GOT YOU.

We recommend purchaisng your ECU tune and verifying that your transmission is unlocked before purchasing the TCU tune. Once you own your iE POWERlink, you can easily verify compatibility with your TCU using our easy step-by-step MK8 TCU Unlock Guide. VARIABLE LAUNCH CONTROL Get ready for explosive launches with iE’s variable launch control. Choose between three launch RPM settings to dial in the perfect balance of grip and power for your vehicle’s setup. Each setting includes two RPM settings engaged by the throttle position: Apply 100% throttle input without engaging the kickdown switch to launch from the minimal chosen RPM. Engage full pedal pressure while activating the kickdown switch to launch with additional RPMs, delivering the most aggressive launch. { "__shgImageV2Elements": { "uuid": "s-6d251d31-e3da-48f5-8bee-b241fdd63afb" } } LAUNCH SETTING MINIMUM RPM MAXIMUM RPM STREET 3000 RPM 3200 RPM AGGRESSIVE 3400 RPM 3600 RPM RACE 3800 RPM 4000 RPM DRIVING ENHANCEMENTS The stock transmission tuning often doesn’t meet the demands of performance enthusiasts. iE’s TCU tune fully revamps the transmission drive-mapping strategy, ensuring precise, enthusiast-focused performance for every drive.
