MQB 1.8T STAGE 1

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).

See the performance tab for power and dyno results

MQB 1.8T STAGE 2

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.

See below for a complete list of Stage 2 hardware requirements

UPGRADING STAGES

Upgrading from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or beyond is easy! With IE, you only pay the difference in tune cost with no extra fees. When you install the required matching hardware, follow the link on your IE POWERlink software to purchase the tune upgrade, and you will be blowing away the competition in minutes!

 
 

HIGH/LOW TORQUE FILES

IE High Torque ECU calibrations maximize power gains throughout the entire powerband and quickly exceed the torque limitations of the factory DQ250 (DSG transmission) calibration or the stock clutch (manual trans), resulting in clutch slip. Stage 1 and 2 files include an optional low torque for vehicles with stock DSG tunes or clutch. Both high and low torque files are included with your Stage 1 or Stage 2 purchase.

High Torque files require the additional purchase of a DSG transmission tune or clutch upgrade.

 

Important Note: MQB 1.8T models are equipped with three different transmission options; manual, DSG (DQ250), and traditional automatic (AQ250). Transmission tuning is not available for the automatic AQ250 trans, and vehicles equipped with these will not qualify for increased RPM and may see reduced power on Stage 2 and higher ECU tunes. Please verify your transmission type before purchasing a DSG tune.


FEATURES & OPTIONS

INCREASED RPM

To take advantage of your new larger power band, factory rev limiters are raised to 7000 RPM in all stages (will shift slightly before at 6900 RPM on DSG DQ250 equipped cars).

DSG Tune is required to unlock higher RPM, not available for automatic AQ250 transmissions

EXHAUST CRACKLE

Enabling the optional Exhaust Crackle feature will add a motorsport-inspired crackle sound to your exhaust note when you free-rev the engine or decelerate. The crackle feature is an included option with Stage 2 and higher.

For the most aggressive pops and bangs, an aftermarket catback system is recommended.

RELIABILITY TESTING

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!

IS20 TURBO UPGRADE

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.

See the performance tab for full performance results and dyno charts

IS38 TURBO UPGRADE

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!

ADVANCED ENGINE MANAGEMENT

Upgrading to a larger turbocharger, ECU tune, and required hardware will deliver the maximum power while staying within the safe power limits of the stock engine internals. IE's calibration and software engineers employed highly advanced tuning practices and equipment to develop a complete ground-up engine management system for the larger turbo's boost profile and powerband. All engine mapping and safety coding have been retained and rewritten for substantial power gains for your larger IHI IS20 or IS38 turbocharger.
