IE's Stage 1 ECU Tune delivers an instant increase in performance, leaving no hidden power on the table. In only minutes, Stage 1 will safely max out the factory turbocharger, horsepower, and torque output on entirely stock hardware or maximize the tune with optional bolt-ons (intake, turbo inlet, intercooler).
IE Stage 2 software extracts additional power and maxes out the factory turbo by utilizing an upgraded downpipe and performance hardware. Complete hardware upgrades for stage 2 will increase airflow and exhaust flow, reduce turbine backpressure, lower intake air temps, provide faster IAT recovery, and produce a much more efficient and dramatically faster vehicle than the stock hardware and tune.
Installing the factory IHI IS20 turbocharger found on 2015-2021 MK7 GTI vehicles offers an easy upgrade to higher boost pressures with power levels delivering up to 301HP & 361TQ on pump gas! This advanced ECU calibration, when combined with the larger IS20 and stage 2 hardware (intake, intercooler, & downpipe), delivers increased powerband and extensive turbo performance.
More than double your factory horsepower with the even larger IHI IS38 turbo upgrade! Installing the factory turbo from a 2015-2021 Golf R or S3 and matching ECU tune delivers a tire-spinning 338HP & 361TQ, providing the maximum performance with the largest powerband possible. Fully transform your unassuming 1.8T engine into a true sports car with an additional 180HP over stock!
IE's fully proven software brings track-ready ECU programming to your turbocharged MQB 1.8T engine while retaining factory comfort and reliability. IE's own tuning technology suite completely reverse-engineers the factory ECU mapping, allowing our software engineers 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!
