Unitronic Stage 3 TTE700 Performance Software is precisely calibrated for use with a TTE700 turbocharger for 93octane fuel and full hardware bolt-ons.
Unitronic strongly urges its Stage 3 ECU Performance Software calibrations to be utilized together with a built engine/fortified bottom end. Stage 3 ECU Calibrations for the TTE700 are available in a "torque-limited" and "unlimited" formats, with Ethanol fuel. Maximum or "unlimited" torque ECU calibrations are meant to be used with built engines and require an Iroz Motorsports Single Brushless LPFP and Unitronic 4 bar MAP sensors.* Stage 3 TTE700 93oct/98ron ECU calibrations are also available with the LPFP and MAP sensor upgrades. Power figures displayed for Stage 3 TTE700 with E85 fuel are not representative of the maximum torque ECU calibrations. Stage 3 TTE700 "Torque-limited" ECU calibrations for Ethanol fuel are for use with the stock LPFP and MAP sensors. Stock LPFP's are not all created equally and output may vary; Ethanol content levels should remain ~E70 with the stock LPFP, air quality dependent.
Unitronic Stage 3 TCU Performance Software is required to run Stage 3 ECU tune.
- Requires 91 or 93 Octane Fuel
- Requires TTE700 Turbocharger
- Requires an aftermarket 3" downpipe
- Requires 4" or larger upgraded air intake system
- Requires 4" or larger upgraded turbo inlet elbow
- Requires upgraded aftermarket intercooler
- Requires Multi Port Injection Upgrade
- Requires NGK R7437-9 spark plugs
- Requires 4 Bar TMAP Sensor Upgrade
- Iroz Motorsports Single Brushless Low Pressure Fuel Pump Upgrade required if engine is built and using "Max Torque" ecu calibrations
- Built Bottom End (Rods and Pistons)
Stage 3 tunes are also available in 104 octane and E60-E85 versions as well:
- 104 octane - 729 HP / 570 LB-FT
- E60-E85 - 764 HP / 587 LB-FT
NOTE: E85 calibrations are not full flex fuel calibrations, therefore, when using an E85 ECU calibration, the engine is only designed to operate on E85 blends from E60-E85.
Using an E85 calibration with pump gasoline or race gas may result in engine damage.
Unitronic strongly recommends the use of an Ethanol Content Analyzer, to ensure Ethanol content levels are within the permissible range. When switching between gasoline to ethanol, please use Unitronic’s fuel conversion guide here. Unitronic recommends using NGK R7437-9 spark plug gapped to 0.024” +/-0.002” (0.6mm +/0 0.05mm) with Stage 1+ E85 and Stage 2 ECU calibrations, with a replacement interval of 10,000-15,000 miles (16,000-24,000 km).
Unitronic Stage 2 TCU Performance Software is required to run Stage 1+ ECU tune.
Performance Software for your ECU Box Code is subject to availability.

Features Included With All Stages
- Engineered with Strict Industry Standards
- With over 10 years of experience with Bosch and Siemens engine management systems and calibrations, Unitronic is able to utilize its expertise, industry leading tools and equipment to ensure an optimal calibration; delivering maximum performance, while maintaining complete OEM-like reliability and drivability.
- Extensively Tested Under Various Driving Conditions
- Development begins using Unitronic’s in-house Maha Chassis dyno housed in an environmentally controlled cell; closely monitoring a plethora of operational data, utilizing industry leading calibration tools and resources. Beta calibrations are then tested in street and track scenarios, using multiple cars under various driving conditions. This engine calibration strategy ensures Unitronic Performance Software delivers maximum performance, OEM-like drivability and reliability anywhere in the world. Unitronic Performance Software is only released to its Clients once development is thoroughly completed in accordance to Unitronic’s strict standards.
- Factory Safety Limiters Retained
- OEM “fail safes” are retained within the ECU calibration. Close monitoring of all operation parameters ensures that engine operation stays within factory components limits, resulting in reliability.
- Optimized Responsiveness, Smoothness, Drivability, and Comfort
- Unitronic’s ECU calibrations are engineered to improve engine response and reduce low-end lag. Unitronic’s Performance Software has gained worldwide recognition and is well known for its broad powerband, with smooth power delivery, maximizing responsiveness and “area under the curve”, under normal and hard acceleration.
- Optimized Maximum Output
- Unitronic’s ECU Calibrators deliver the maximum power output while staying within the operational limits of the factory engine and drivetrain components. Specifically, this results in the highest engine performance without sacrificing the reliability of the engine, turbocharger, or other engine and drivetrain components.
- Speed Governor Removed
- Vehicle speed limiter within ECU is removed. (Subject to transmission rotational speed limit.)
Stage 2 Specific Features:
- Left Foot Braking (LFB) Enabled
- LFB allows users to apply load on the engine using their left foot on the brake, to build boost when the edge is needed at the race track.
- Spark-based "Motorsports" Style Rev-limiter Enabled
- The traditional rev limiter will de-load of the engine as engine speed reaches maximum RPM. Unitronic has enabled the spark-based rev-limiter, to avoid the de-loading, allowing power all the way to the rev-limiter.
- Exhaust Crackle/Overrun Enabled
- Unitronic has recalibrated the Exhaust Crackles/Overrun/Pops & Bangs when in Dynamic/Sport Mode to be more aggressive and louder.
- Exhaust Flaps Always Open in Dynamic/Sport Mode
- In factory form, both Exhaust Flaps are not open when in Dynamic/Sport Mode. Unitronic enables both Exhaust Flaps to be open at all times, when in Dynamic/Sport Mode, for maximum performance and sound.
