IE Stage 1 ECU Tune

IE's motorsport inspired software brings track-ready ECU programming to your Audi S4, S5 or SQ5 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. 

Stage 1 Plus HPFP

Stage 1 Plus ECU tune is calibrated to support increased fuel delivery from upgraded HPFP (High-Pressure Fuel Pump) internals providing additional horsepower and torque through the mid-range of the power band. Acceleration dramatically improves with a 52HP gain in the mid-RPM (peak HP number remains the same) and up to 75ft-lbs of additional torque on E85! Our matching Stage 2+ TCU transmission tune (sold separately) also includes optimized shift points that double down on the intense pull through the middle of the powerband, further increasing acceleration and faster 1/4 mile times.

Stage 1+ tunes are included at no additional cost.
Requires HPFP upgraded internals with 11.7mm pin size

STAGE 1 TCU (Included at no cost)

IE's stage 1 TCU tune raises the torque limits of your AL552 ZF8 automatic transmission to allow the power gains from IE ECU Tunes. Stage 1 fully realizes all available performance from the IE ECU Stages while keeping all transmission driving characteristics otherwise stock.

Stage 1 TCU tune is included with all B9/B9.5 3.0T ECU calibrations at no extra charge.

Required Hardware

  • TCU Patch (included with all B9 ECU tunes)

Stage 1 recommended hardware

  • Stage 2 TCU Tune (highly recommended)
  • Air Intake (highly recommended)
  • Intercooler (fully compatible with all stages)
  • Cat-back exhaust (fully compatible with all stages)

TCU Patch

IE's calibrators have written a free software patch for the factory transmission control unit (TCU) that raises the torque limits of the AL552 ZF8 automatic transmission to allowing the power gains from IE Tunes. This patch fully realizes all available performance from the IE ECU Stages while keeping all transmission driving characteristics otherwise stock. This TCU patch is a simple installation using the POWERlink cable and is included with all B9 S4 & S5 ECU calibrations at no extra charge.

Easy At-Home Tune Install

Required to flash your new tune, IE's DIY Flash Tool allows you to quickly upload your tune from your own garage or driveway. This OBD plug-in device is easy to use with a Windows powered laptop and WiFi connection. Your new tool also includes the abilities to switch between multiple octane files (available separately), reading and clearing diagnostic codes, upgrading Stages, or flashing back to stock. 

Upgrading Tunes

Already have an IE Stage 1 tune and IE DIY Flash Tool? Upgrading to Stage 2 or beyond is easy! You only pay the difference in cost between the files with no additional or hidden fees. Once the required supporting hardware is installed, simply plug in your DIY Flash Tool and follow the instructions on your screen to purchase and flash the upgrade file.

Dynometer Optimized

After completely reverse engineering the factory ECU, our engineers use our in-house Dynapack DP42 dynamometer to perform repeated runs to test each change that is made to the software and confirm drivability in any situation. This ensures IE performance software delivers massive horsepower and torque increases across the entire powerband. Using our in-house dyno and advanced tuning tools, IE engineers have fully optimized every aspect of the factory ECU mapping on many different vehicles. This produces a tune that retains all factory like driving and safety protocols when needed, and an intense surge of power when you want it.

Removed Speed Limiter

The factory ECU speed limiter has been removed to make sure the increased power and torque can be used to its full potential on straightaways and drag strips.

 

Improved Throttle Response

To further increase the responsive feel of the car, IE engineers have carefully adjusted the throttle sensitivity. This offers a more connected feeling to your car with plenty of power available right beneath your foot.

Optimized Fueling

All IE tunes have been adjusted to run as economically as possible, dialing in air/fuel ratios to exactly where they need to be. With an IE performance ECU flash, it is common to see increased fuel economy under cruising and part-throttle driving.
