UPGRADE GUIDE
While no hardware upgrades are required for Stage 1, upgrading the intake and intercooler will provide increased airflow, lower intake air temps, and quicker heat soak recovery for an overall more efficient and faster vehicle.

INCLUDED FEATURES

E85 ETHANOL FUEL
Unlock the power of ethanol! E85 acts like rocket fuel for your daily driver and offers extreme safety by running cooler than gasoline and offering high knock resistance. Though fuel consumption increases by up to 35%, E85’s lower cost per gallon compared to 104 race fuel balances out. Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pro supports E60-E85 ethanol blends.

REV FREE
Experience more power at higher RPMs with a raised engine speed limiter of 7000 RPM. You can also free-rev your engine in park or neutral with the limiter increased to 6750 RPM.

BRAKE BOOST
Dominate in roll racing with Brake Boost. Hold speed and throttle, then apply brake pressure with your left foot to build boost while rolling, creating a rolling launch and surge of power once the brake is released.

RESCALED POWER GAUGES
Get accurate readings with rescaled factory boost, power, and torque gauges that match your new performance output. We’ve also smoothed out the gauge animation for more precise and refined display readings.

AUTO START/STOP MEMORY
Take control of your driving experience with an auto start/stop button that remembers your preferred setting—even after you turn off the car.

FAN LAUNCH STRATEGY
Launch control generates a lot of heat. With iE’s Fan Launch Strategy, the cooling fan kicks in at higher speeds when launch control is engaged to keep intake air temperatures low, giving you maximum power from the start.

POWER & SAFETY
Your iE high-performance tune is designed to extract maximum power from the engine and turbocharger while maintaining safety and everyday comfort. All factory safety protocols have been reprogrammed and expanded to accommodate the new tuning parameters. Years of in-house dyno testing, location verification, and advanced factory-level testing equipment ensures reliability in any condition. Confidently drive from LA to Pikes Peak, knowing your car is protected and performing at its best.

OPTIMIZED PEDAL MAPPING
The torque request and throttle maps have been etirely reworked to deliver an ultra-responsive and connected driving experience. Enjoy a linear throttle with smooth and depandable power delivery.

iE TrueFlex

EFFORTLESS POWER
TrueFlex is iE's innovative Ethanol Flex Fuel solution for the VW MK8 GTI, Golf R, & Audi 8Y S3. Running ethanol unlocks massive power gains over premium gasoline. No switching tunes, just fill and go!

INSTALL IS A SNAP
Installing TrueFlex on your MK8 is incredibly easy. Purchase and install the iE TrueFlex Sensor Kit and update the engine control computer with your PowerLink app. Fill up with either premium unleaded or E85 and enjoy maximum performance. You can monitor your ethanol content right on the app.

WHY ETHANOL?
Ethanol is an alcohol fuel with very high octane. It burns cooler than gasoline, and protects engine components by fiercely resisting knock. The trade-off of Ethanol is that gas mileage will decrease by up to 35%. Per-gallon savings at the pump offset the increased consumption. Modern Audi’s have no corrosion issues with Ethanol fuels.
