ADD TRANSMISSION TUNE
All stages of IE ECU calibrations for the C7.5 A6 & A7 are compatible with the matching IE ZF8 AL551 Transmission TCU Tune and is highly recommended to reach the advertised power figures. Without a matching TCU tune, the transmission will short shift the powerband at 6300 RPM vs. the ECU tune's peak power at 7200RPM -leaving power on the table. Adding the TCU upgrade also modifies shift speed, torque limit maps, line pressure, and launch control functions resulting in a complete ECU & TCU performance package.
EASY INSTALL FROM HOME
IE's POWERlink Cable and Flash Wizard software gives you the freedom to quickly flash your new IE ECU Tune. Simply plug your POWERlink into the vehicle's OBD-2 port and follow the on-screen directions, it's that easy!
E85 ETHANOL
E85 fuel unlocks the most performance potential from our ECU tunes for your Audi A6 or A7 3.0T. 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. Safeguards are included within the E85 ECU calibrations to adjust for ethanol as low as E60 to allow safe fill ups even if the ethanol content is lower than advertised. E85 is an optional fuel map included with all tune purchases.
BRAKE BOOST
Commonly used in roll racing, Brake Boosting allows you to build extra boost by applying brake pressure while accelerating. Release the brake pressure for a "rolling launch" or extra surge of power. Brake Boost is included on all tune stages.
INCREASED RPM
Take full advantage of your supercharger with a larger power band. RPM limits have been raised to 7200RPM in all stages. This higher RPM limit not only extends the power band, but also unlocks 20+HP in the upper RPM range! Transmission TCU Tune is required to unlock higher RPM.
OPTIMIZED COOLING
To combat power-robbing heat soak generated from the supercharged engine the factory coolant pump calibration has been modified in all ECU Tune stages. This new configuration runs the coolant pump at 50% duty when the ignition is keyed on pushing coolant through the charge coolers and reducing heat faster without the engine running. This helps avoid heat soak and provides faster recovery in-between runs or while staging at the track. During driving or when the intake temp is above 20C, the coolant pump operates at 100% for maximum cooling efficiency.
RELIABILITY TESTING
IE's fully proven software brings track-ready ECU programming to your supercharged V6 engine while retaining factory comfort and reliability. IE's own tuning technology suite is used to completely reverse-engineer the factory ECU mapping, allowing our software engineers access to realign all safety protocols and sensors for the new performance calibration. Every tune parameter undergoes months of testing on our in-house dyno systems that utilize the world's only Sea Level Generator developed specifically to verify tune operations in any condition. Confidently drive from LA to Pikes Peak with power that will keep you smiling every mile!
FITMENT/APPLICATIONS
- 2016-2018 Audi C7.5 A6 3.0T Supercharged (CREC engine code)

WHAT IS CREC? CREC is the engine code for the updated 3.0T Supercharged engines found in 2016-2018 Audi A6 & A7 chassis. The CREC variation includes numerous changes from the previous generations of the 3.0T platform including a dual direct and port injection fuel system, supercharger refinements, a new ECU, and many other changes. The easiest way to verify if you have a CREC engine is to check the upper supercharger pulley; CREC is equipped with a 4 bolt supercharger pulley where as all previous gen engines have a press-on pulley. Still not sure? Don't worry, our IE POWERlink cable will identify the correct tune for you car automatically.
Once a tune purchase is applied to your vehicle's ECU, the tune is permanently registered to the vehicle and non-transferable to other vehicles. Tune can be transferred to a second party in the event of vehicle transfer of ownership only.
Try IE software for 45 days from shipment date, if for any reason you are unsatisfied the tune may be removed and refunded risk-free.
