IE DSG Tune Technical Features

• HIGHER SHIFT POINTS
  High shift points result in faster acceleration and power gains by increasing the usable powerband.  
  
  
• DRIVE MAPPING REWORKED
  The B8 and B8.5 S4 is designed to a fault to keep engine rpm extremely low in drive. We completely reworked this, creating a more enthusiast-friendly drive mapping which shifts a bit higher. This eliminates vibration and that constant feeling that you’re lugging the engine.  We’ve reworked the downshifting aspect as well, making the transmission much quicker to deliver power when you need it. Thousands of miles of testing were accumulated and a variety of users were polled to come up with this improved drive mode.
  
  
• INCREASED CLUTCH PRESSURE
  Increasing the clutch pressure allows for the transmission to hold more torque without causing clutch damage or expedited wear. With the increased torque, the acceleration will be greatly increased and launches will far more aggressive.  
  
  
• FLASHED THROUGH OBD-II PORT
  There’s no need to remove the TCU from the car and it can be flashed in your driveway or through an IE software dealer. Additionally, having an IE PowerLink cables means you can install updates are they become available as well as read TCU and ECU fault codes.
  
  
• UNLIMITED LAUNCHES
  From the factory, the S4 only allows 200 launches before the feature becomes unavailable. With the IE DSG Tune, the fun police have been sidelined and you can now launch your car as many times as you like.
  
  
• FLAWLESS OPERATION WITH IE ECU TUNES
  The IE DSG Tune and ECU Tunes were developed side by side on our in-house dynamometer. By running both tunes you will unlock the full potential of your 3.0T engine and transmission. Perfect for all IE Tunes from Stage 1 to dual pulley and throttle upgrades.
