Description
Take control of your VW GTI, GLI or Audi A3 by unlocking thrilling power and acceleration from your phone! Our cutting-edge engine and transmission tunes transform your car through the innovative POWERlink Bluetooth dongle that plugs into your vehicle’s OBD II port. Our responsive mobile app links the dongle to your Apple or Android phone, giving you the power to tune your car, change octanes, upgrade stages, perform diagnostics, monitor live gauge data, and more —all from the palm of your hand!
NEW: ANTI-LAG LAUNCH
Gain the boosted advantage with iE anti-lag launch and rolling launch control included on all stages. This custom-code fuel-cut launch strategy is safe on your engine and builds 10-20+ PSI of turbo boost for an extremely powerful launch. This eliminates lag and greatly reduces 0-60, 60-foot, and accleration times. Additonally, this feature includes rolling anti-lag that will hold a set RPM and speed while building boost for a rolling launch that will deliver a surge of power and the competitve edge in a roll-racing scenario.

EFFORTLESS E85
Ethanol is rocket fuel for your GTI, GLI, or A3. Our TrueFlex flex fuel conversion kit upgrades the factory engine computer to read and instantly adapt to any ethanol blend, unleashing huge power.
STAGE 1
UP TO 361HP & 420FT-LBS TORQUE
iE Stage 1 ECU calibration dramatically increases performance leaving no hidden power oE Stage 1 ECU calibration maximizes performance by fully utilizing the factory IHI IS20 turbocharger’s horsepower and torque capabilities. Designed to work with entirely stock hardware and compatible with basic bolt-ons (intake, turbo inlet, intercooler).
- Compatible with 100% stock hardware
- Includes advanced TrueFlex ethanol (requires hardware)
- RPM limit raised to 7000 RPM
- 91, 93, & 104 pump octanes available (95, 98, & 108 RON)
- Road speed limiters removed
- Includes anti-lag launch and rolling launch
- Engineered for all climates and elevations
ANTI-LAG & ROLLING ANTI-LAG LAUNCH REQUIRES iE DSG TUNE
STAGE 2
UP TO 394HP & 448FT-LBS TORQUE
iE calibrators employ advanced tuning strategies to harness additional power and account for increased flow from an upgraded downpipe and matching performance hardware. Required hardware upgrades for Stage 2 increase airflow, exhaust flow, lower intake air temperatures, provide faster IAT recovery, and result in a more efficient and faster vehicle on the stock turbocharger.
- Maximizes stock turbo power output
- Includes advanced TrueFlex ethanol (requires hardware)
- 91, 93, & 104 pump gas fuel maps
- Requires downpipe upgrade
- Exhaust crackle feature unlocked
Upgrading from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or beyond is simple with iE! You only need to pay the price difference between the tunes with no additional fees. Once you’ve installed the necessary matching hardware, just follow the instructions on your POWERlink app to purchase the tune upgrade, and you’ll be outperforming the competition in minutes!
STAGE 2 IS38
UP TO 420HP & 474FT-LBS TORQUE
iE Stage 2+ IS38 takes power to the next level by incorporating the larger IHI IS38 turbocharger found on the VW Golf R or Audi S3. This larger factory turbo is a direct bolt-on upgrade, delivering additional boost and larger power gains when combined with full Stage 2 hardware and tuning.
- Requires factory Golf R/S3 IHI IS38 turbocharger
- Includes advanced TrueFlex ethanol (requires hardware)
- 91, 93, & 104 pump gas fuel maps
- Stock downpipe file available
STAGE 3
UP TO 462HP & 456FT-LBS TORQUE
iE Stage 3 is the ultimate tuning suite for the Garrett GT2260S PowerMax turbocharger. Specifically designed for the VW/Audi MQB platform, this bolt-on turbo provides a significant power increase with a much broader powerband that pulls all the way to the redline, far surpassing the factory IS20 or IS38 turbos. This advanced ECU calibration, combined with the Garrett turbocharger, HPFP (fuel pump) upgrade, and Stage 2 hardware (intake, intercooler, and downpipe), delivers incredibly fast performance and exhilarating driving fun.
- Full tuning suite for Garrett GT2260S turbo
- Includes advanced TrueFlex ethanol (requires hardware)
- Massive powerband with minimal boost lag increase
- 91, 93, & E30 fuel maps
ADDITIONAL TUNE FEATURES
HIGH & LOW TORQUE FILES
High-torque ECU calibrations maximize power gains throughout the entire powerband which quickly exceeds the torque limitations of the factory DSG calibration (auto trans) or the stock clutch (manual trans). To avoid clutch slip, iE Stage 1 & Stage 2 (non-IS38) tunes include low torque files for vehicles with stock DSG tune or stock clutch.
Low and high torque files included with Stage 1 & 2 tunes.
HARDWARE GUIDE
Unlock the full potential of your ECU tune with our comprehensive range of iE hardware upgrades. Each tune stage is designed to work seamlessly with optional or required hardware, maximizing the enjoyment of your 2.0T engine. While Stage 1 doesn’t require any hardware upgrades, adding our intake, turbo inlet, and intercooler will result in increased airflow, lower intake air temperatures, and quicker heatsoak recovery, leading to a more efficient and faster vehicle.
