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)

  • Brake boost enabled for rolling launches
  • Engineered for all climates and elevations

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

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.

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.

EXHAUST CRACKLE

Exhaust Crackle feature adds an addicitng motorsport-inspired crackle sound to your exhaust note when you let off the accelerator or downshift above 3K RPM. This feature is active in Sport Mode or Sport Manual Mode so you can enjoy this feature when you want, and stay civil when you need it.

Exhaust Crackle is included on stage 2 and higher tunes.

BRAKE BOOST

Commonly used in roll racing, Brake Boosting allows you to build extra boost by applying brake pressure while accelerating. Release the brake pressure for a "rolling launch" or extra surge of power.

Brake Boost is included on all tune stages.

INCREASED RPM

To take advantage of the new larger power band, factory rev limits have been raised to 7000RPM in all stages. On DSG equipped cars, the transmission will shift slightly before the new engine RPM (6900RPM).

DSG Tune is required to unlock higher RPM.

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.

2019 GLI Stage One Performance Tune

I added this tune at 150,000 miles. I knew it was risky and could probably blow the motor, but couldn't resist doing it anyway. The car is quick stock but after 150,000 miles I wanted a little more power. This tune provided way more power than I thought it was going to! I'm pretty sure I cut the sickness and can't wait to upgrade to stage two! I realize I may still compromise the Engine, but I'm willing to risk it.

Just buy it. It’s worth it.

It’s dead easy to install everything for stage one. Buy the transmission tune and some performance pads and rotors. Don’t cheap out on your tires. It makes these cars so much fun.
