Stage 3
HIGH/LOW TORQUE FILES
IE 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 to reliably take advantage of the intense power.
TRUEFLEX ETHANOL FILES
Ethanol fuels contains tons of oxygen, burns cooler, and has a high resistance to knock resulting in the most performance potential from our ECU tunes for your MQB 2.0T engine. Even though ethanol is capable of more power than regular pump gas, it does require more ethanol to make the same power as pump gas and requires fueling upgrades. Both E30 and IE TrueFlex E85 files are available depending on ECU stage.
TrueFlex - Full E85 - Pump Fuel - Instant Adaptability - One Tune
INSTANT ADAPTABILITY
IE'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. TrueFlex is available for 2015-2018 Stage 1, Stage 2, & IS38 files. 2019+ model years are coming soon.
PERFORMANCE FIRST
Factory 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. Although full E85 is completely safe to run, the highest power output is seen around E60-E75 blend.
TRUEFLEX HARNESS
The 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. You can add the TrueFlex Sensor Harness Kit via the option above.
RELIABLE ETHANOL
Not only does IE TrueFlex allow for amazing power potential, it also offers the most safety from ethanol blends. The abiltiy 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 is offers amazing protection from pumps that may have lower than advertised ethanol content or if no ethanol is availible. Fill up
EXHAUST CRACKLE
Enabling 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 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
To 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.
STAGE 2+ IS38 TRUEFLEX
IE's Stage 2+ IS38 TrueFlex requires all Stage 2 hardware, IS38 turbo upgrade, and utilizes their flex-fuel sensor and harness kit to deliver the jost power from your turbo upgrade. TrueFlex will automatically adjust between 91 octane up to E85 ethanol.
LAUNCH CONTROL
IE ECU & TCU tunes feature optional launch control strategies to deliver the competitive edge in drag or roll racing environments. 2-step launch control, rolling anti-lag, and break boosting are available for select tune stages.
RELIABILITY TESTING
IE's fully proven software brings track-ready ECU programming to your turbocharged 2.0T 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!

The cable simply plugs into your vehicle’s OBD-2 port, from there simply follow the on-screen directions to quickly upload the tune. Adding horsepower is as easy as clicking FLASH NOW!
The flash tool also grants instant access to upgrade tune stages, switch fuel octanes, flash back to stock, perform engine diagnostics, read/clear codes and gather high-quality operating data via logging.
System requirements:
Laptop or tablet with Wifi connection and USB port running Windows 7 or above operating system required. Powered by 32 or 64 bit processor with 1.0GHz or greater and 4GB of Ram.
Please note that if you are planning on flashing your car at home, we highly recommend having a proper battery charger on hand. If your vehicle loses power while flashing it, you run the risk of damaging your ECU.
