STAGE 1 TCU TUNE
IE Performance ECU Tunes Audi B9 3.0T S4, S5, & SQ5
iE Stage 3 ECU & TCU Support is currently for 2017-2020 model years only. B9.5 2021-2023 support coming soon!
STAGE 1 ( TCU Stage 1 Included )
UP TO 505HP & 585FT-LBS TORQUE
iE Stage 1 ECU calibration is a simple flash-only upgrade that delivers instant excitement, providing a broader powerband, a higher rev limit, and increased boost pressures that result in significantly faster 0-60 times and improved acceleration in any situation. This advanced calibration can be installed in a completely stock car, and it will adapt to take full advantage of intake and intercooler upgrades.
- Recalibrated factory boost gauge displays higher boost
- Neutral/park rev limit raised to 6500 RPM
- Road speed limiters removed
- Brake boost enabled for rolling launches
- Auto-start/stop defaults to off (can be turned back on)
- Includes Stage 1 Plus for use with HPFP upgrade and E85, offering up to 650 ft-lbs of torque
STAGE 2 ( TCU Stage 1 Included )
FOR THE EXHAUST LOVER
The B9 3.0T engine comes equipped with a large and efficient factory downpipe, which does not impede power or exhaust flow with the stock turbo. While this platform doesn't yield additional power gains on Stage 2 tunes, Stage 2 provides the necessary ECU calibrations to support aftermarket downpipes. This is ideal for users seeking a more aggressive exhaust note and includes an enhanced exhaust overrun/crackle feature in dynamic drive mode.
- More aggressive overrun/crackle in Dynamic mode
- Crackles enabled for free revving in park or neutral
- Includes Stage 2 Plus for use with HPFP upgrade and E85
STAGE 3
UP TO 739HP & 710FT-LBS TORQUE
For the serious horsepower enthusiast, iE's world-record-holding tunes are purpose-built for use with bolt-in TTE810 or Pure750 hybrid turbo upgrades and compatible hardware. Unlock supercar-level power and torque with remarkable transient response, minimal turbo lag, and an exhilarating pull all the way to the redline. This new power curve completely transforms your B9 3.0T into a track-ready machine while maintaining everyday comfort during your daily drives
- Stage 3 for stock fueling
- Stage 3 HPFP for more power with fuel pump upgrade
- Stage 3 Plus E70 (4 bar MAPs, HPFP, and injector upgrade)
- Massive power with minimal boost lag increase
- Neutral/park rev limit raised to 7000 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 Audi 3.0T 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 overall.

TCU STAGE 1
INCLUDED WITH STAGE 1 & 2 ENGINE TUNE
iE ECU tunes far exceed the torque limitations of the stock B9 3.0T transmission programming, which triggers the transmission computer (TCU) to limit power output. The included stage 1 TCU tune raises these torque limits while keeping all transmission driving characteristics otherwise stock.
- Increases transmission torque limits
- Inlcuded at no extra cost with all stage 1 & 2 ECU tunes
TCU STAGE 2
THE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION PERFORMANCE TUNE
Stage 2 TCU tune is a complete performance transmission calibration that delivers lightening fast shifts, optimized shift points, multiple launch-control modes, enthusiast drive mapping, and more! Pairing this TCU calibration with an iE Stage 1 or Stage 2 ECU tune will significantly transform every aspect of your S4, S5, or SQ5, delivering faster launches, higher Gs, and further improved acceleration. Stage 2 TCU is for use with either Stage 1 or 2 ECU tune.
- Enables launch control in drive, sport, and manual modes
- Includes user-adjustable launch control settings
- Lightning-fast shift speed
- Optimized shift points for the fastest acceleration
- Enables 6500 RPM limit in all gears in manual
- 7th and 8th gear enabled in sport mode
- Enables downshifting into 1st gear without coming to full stop
- Refined drive for the automotive enthusiast
- Reduces time for double-downshifting gears
- Line pressure increased to protect against trans slip
TCU STAGE 3
MATCHING TRANSMISSION TUNE FOR STAGE 3 HYBRID TURBOS
Stage 3 ECU tunes for hybrid turbos deliver massive power gains across the entire powerband and further into the higher RPM range. These performance enhancements require a complete matching transmission calibration. iE Stage 3 TCU Tune is the matching transmission calibration for hybrid turbos with optimized shift points, further increased RPM limits, and new drive-mapping.
iE Stage 2 & 3 TCU Support is currently for 2017-2020 model years only. B9.5 2021-2023 support coming soon!
OPTIMIZED SHIFT POINTS
iE Stage 2 and Stage 3 TCU tunes remap each gear's RPM limits for the fastest possible acceleration by shifting at the optimal points to keep the engine in peak torque/power output. This strategy pulls the car through the powerband as quickly as possible with incredible improvements in acceleration and G's. These optimized shift points occur when in drive mode, sport mode, and AMAX. The transmission limit remains 6500 RPM in all gears in manual mode, retaining complete manual control over the shift points.
