ECU STAGES

HIGH-PERFORMANCE ENGINE SOFTWARE

FULL POWER ON ANY TRANSMISSION

The factory transmission control units (TCU) include software limiters that restrict engine power when torque limits are exceeded from tuning. For GTI models with locked TCUs, our calibration team has custom-coded the engine control unit (ECU) programming to properly manage torque signals to and from the transmission. This advanced strategy safely enables full horsepower and torque, even without a TCU tune.

Stage 1 & 2 low torque files are included for manual transmissions w/stock clutch.

STAGE 1

UP TO 457 HP & 460 FT-LBS TORQUE

The iE Stage 1 ECU tune delivers an easy 46% more horsepower and 56% more torque on stock hardware. This simple flash-only upgrade overhauls your engine computer with massive power gains, increased rev limit, enthusiast drive mapping, snappy throttle response, and increased boost pressures. Enjoy faster 0-60 times and stronger acceleration in only minutes from your phone!

  • Includes 91, 93, and 104 octane
  • Includes E60-E85 ethanol
  • RPM limit raised to 7000 RPM
  • Free revving enabled in neutral/park
  • Road speed limiters removed
  • Brake boost enabled for rolling launches
  • Shielded with iE AutoProtect
  • Advanced launch control fan strategy
  • Auto-start/stop defaults to off
  • Recalibrated factory gauge displays higher boost/power

STAGE 2

UP TO 462 HP & 460 FT-LBS TORQUE

Ready for the next step? Jump to Stage 2 by upgrading your intake and intercooler to unlock more power. This tune retains all Stage 1 features while taking full advantage of increased airflow, lower intake air temps, and faster heat recovery to deliver 147 HP and 165ft-lbs over stock. Exhaust lovers will love the added overrun/crackle feature.

  • Larger power gains with upgraded hardware
  • Adds aggressive overrun/crackle in sport/R mode
  • Exhaust overrun enabled in neutral/park

See below for a complete list of Stage 2 requirements.

Upgrading is Easy: Moving from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or beyond is seamless. Simply install the required hardware and use your POWERlink app to purchase the tune upgrade—you only pay the difference in tune cost with no extra fees!

INCLUDED FEATURES

E85 READY
Unlock the power of ethanol! Stage 1 & 2 supports E60-E85 ethanol blends that produce the highest power output due to running cooler and have a higher knock resistance than 91/93 pump gas.

EXHAUST OVERRUN
Stage 2 files add an aggressive exhaust ovverrun/crackle in sport or R modes when you let off the throttle, downshift, or decel from higher RPM. This feature is also available when free-revving in neutral or park. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Exhaust overrun is included with Stage 2 tuning.

REV FREE
A raised engine speed limiter of 7000 RPM gives you more power at higher RPMs. Free-rev your engine in park or neutral with the limiter increased to 6750 RPM.

BRAKE BOOST
Brake Boost gives you a rolling launch. While giving throttle input, use your left foot on the brake to build boost while maintaining your desired speed. When ready, let off the brake for a surge of power and boosted take-off for the competitive edge in a roll racing scenario.

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
When launch control is engaged, iE’s Fan Launch Strategy keeps intake air temperatures low by kicking on the cooling fan to give you maximum power from the start.

AUTOPROTECT
Even with the best tuning, unreliable fuel and mechanical failures can still pose a risk to any engine. iE AutoProtect is your engines final defense. This innovative protection programming instantly lowers boost and power then triggers a unique CEL if a dangerous condition arises. Power will automatically restore once conditions read safe. This advanced strategy will save your engine, even in situations where a stock calibration falls short.

THROTTLE RESPONSE
The torque request and throttle maps have been entirely reworked to deliver an ultra-responsive and connected driving experience. Enjoy a sporty throttle with smooth and dependable power delivery.

TCU TUNE

HIGH-PERFORMANCE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE

HARMONIZED POWER

Unlock the full potential of your iE ECU tune with our matching TCU (Transmission Control Unit) tune. Enhancing shift speeds, removing torque limiters, preventing transmission slip, and introducing adjustable launch control, this upgrade delivers a dramatic improvement in launch power, pulling force, shift responsiveness, and overall acceleration.

  • Lightning-Fast Shifts: Further improves acceleration and 0-60 times

  • Full Power Unleashed: Removes power-restricting torque limiters

  • Adjustable Launch Control: Fine-tune your launch to your setup

  • Aggressive Torque Cut on Shifts: Maintain boost between gears

  • Always-On Gear Display: Displays the current gear in all modes

  • Kickdown Disabled in Sport-Manual Mode: No unexpected shifts

  • Optimized Shift Scheduling: Shift strategies for faster response

  • Raised Manual Auto-Upshift: Increased to 6900 RPM

  • Optional No Auto-Upshift: In manual mode, opt to remove automatic upshifts for total gear control.

Important note: Many 2022+ MK8 transmissions are equipped with advanced security locks that prevent tuning. We recommend purchasing your ECU tune and verifying that your transmission is unlocked before purchasing the TCU tune. Once you own your iE POWERlink, you can easily verify compatibility with your TCU using our easy step-by-step MK8 TCU Unlock Guide.


VARIABLE LAUNCH CONTROL

Get ready for explosive launches with iE’s variable launch control. Choose between three launch RPM settings to dial in the perfect balance of grip and power for your vehicle’s setup. Each setting includes two RPM settings engaged by the throttle position:

  • Apply 100% throttle input without engaging the kickdown switch to launch from the minimal chosen RPM.

  • Engage full pedal pressure while activating the kickdown switch to launch with additional RPMs, delivering the most aggressive launch.

DRIVING ENHANCEMENTS

Enjoy a much more responsive transmission with crisp, fast shifts and buttery smooth power delivery.

bought twice to make custom UPS setup battery leads, not disappointed
Color: Black, Size: 25-Feet
bought this item(25ft 2awg) twice, the first time I did was to create some quick connect cables between my batteries and my distribution block to my 4kw invertor(24v 165a peak calculated load) I may have oversized due to knowing that the bigger you go the less you stress components and loose power to voltage drop these cables are a nice high-grade rubber jacket and the 30awg strands are ideal for maximum flexibility while remaining fairly easy to terminate this cable also includes a backer paper wrap that allows for easy stripping(of the rubber) without too much strand loss damage(from cutting too close to the core) overall, would buy again, like I did, if I need larger runs(say for feeding an RV solar AC distribution panel) I would buy this brand again, in the 100ft range or so THHN is not ideal for flex connections(strands are way too stiff) but a couple runs of welding cable like this inside something like "smurf tube" would be a perfect high-power temporary connection system, or just a way to isolate a large battery stack used for a solar setup in fact I may do that someday, set up a pallet of LiFePO4 batteries with a large quick connect, and just recharge the massive array(s) at a secondary location where solar is more ideal(or other renewables)

Custom wires for winch solenoid pack relocation.
Color: Black, Size: 25-Feet
Wire is nice. Flexible. Seems good. However the inner liner is not moisture blocking as I assumed from the pictures, it's paper.. still seems like a good price per foot.

Good, flexible (considering it's 2 GA) wire. Lugs soldered on well (using solder pot + flux). The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because it's expensive. Made in USA was a +
