How to tune your VW or Audi with IE

[@cadenw3944]

I have a engine tune made by United motorsports. If I get the transmission tune made by you guys, will it mess up my United motorsports engine tune?

[@donkeykong5888]

To get it to crackle do you have to request the crackle tune or is it automatically loaded in the software when you buy stage 2 ?

[@olivierchaloux5742]

Comes with stage 2 package

[@ajibadeadebiyi]

How does the tune work with the default Maps in the car for Auto, Comfort vs Dynamic Mode? Do you choose a specific one or does the ECU automatically refresh all the 3 car maps based on new ECU data?

[@IEtuned]

Yes, all the maps are adjusted within the tune.

[@TOLDyouSOagain]

2012 audi a4 2.0tfsi. Looking into stage 2 with downpipe and cai. It has the 8 speed zf auto. Do you also offer the trans tune? Can i run stage 2 without the trans tune. Im not tracking or dragging the car. Just looking for more smiles, using common sense could i use manual shift and run fine?

[@IEtuned]

Yes, you can run Stage 2 on your platform just fine without a TCU tune.

[@joshmiranda2549]

Do you have to plug in battery?

[@IEtuned]

We always recommend a battery charger when tuning.

[@CPT_Haddock__]

question tho.... I am currently APR Stage1 91 octane.... is it any good to flash OVER the APR one !? or that can cause problems ?

[@yannismith9879]

Hi, will this work with my 2021 GLi DSG 7 sp canadian version? Thank you.

[@booglemike]

Just purchased but there is no engine choice in menu only the transmission icon, I have the 147kw engine in vw jetta does the IE not work with the 147kw or am I doing something wrong

[@moisturizeoften4010]

Did you find a solution? I’m having the same issue with my Passat

[@nigelmorgan4902]

Does the cable port adapter have to stay plugged into the car's OBD port once you've completed the tune or do you remove it afterwards?

[@mazpr2025]

Remove afterwards

[@cenzo_ct]

should you scan your car for any error codes before flashing in case any pop up after tuning?

[@IEtuned]

You can, especially if you feel like there are any codes you might have. However, the flash completely re-writes the ECU so any stored codes will go away. Of course, if there are problems popping codes -they will come back after the Tune once you drive it long enough for a sensor to pick up the diagnostic issue again. Once you fix the problem, use our cable to clear the code again.

[@cenzo_ct]

Integrated Engineering LLC. oh ok awesome! just got my tune today! can’t wait to install it!!

[@joshuacosta3796]

Just did stage 1 on my A4. Serious turbo flutter at around 70mph. Feels like it's struggling. No codes. What do I need to do?! Not happy with product...

[@Specnutz]

Any updates?

[@p2c940]

Your car probably blown before the tune

[@alexcortez4768]

get better coil and copper spark plugs// ngk performance spark plugs

[@MegaMarkitos99]

Did u have faulty plugs or coils prior? Typically this is what causes most problems after tuning also what mileage

[@aljader85]

what the deferent between stag1 low torque and stage2 high torque

[@LiveWithLuke]

Would this be the equivalent of the Bm3 for BMWs

[@kec]

Hi, I am considering your Stage 2 flash. Can you just elaborate why does your Stage 2 for 7.5 R have more power then the Stage 2 mk7 R flash?

[@MegaMarkitos99]

Might’ve just perfected the tune and made it better or considering it’s the next gen up from mk7 it might have a different engine or the same tsi idk? Just my .2

[@markstoneguitar]

Will Stage 1 Tune affect emission inspection? or Cause the check engine light to come on?

[@blackhorizonmedia4198]

I was told it will cause some sensors to "Not Be Ready" when testing emissions. I had to flash my car back to stock so i could pass my states emissions

[@charlypr88]

this ie tune is amazing.. i just went straight up tp stage 2 and no issues at all..

[@simon057]

Do you have a downpipe or with your stock parts?

[@charlypr88]

@@simon057 yeah i actually bought a vband and made a custom downpipe and fit it to the stock exhaust.. way cheaper than buy 500+ branded downpipe.. with a couple of bucks more you can get a is38 and make more power with the stage 2

@@charlypr88 well you’re lucky living outside of the eu. Here in Germany you would have to pay high fines for adding parts without permission :(. I could buy a downpipe for like 200 bucks here but the problem is it’s not legal. In fact to make it pass the technical inspection id have to pay 1200+

[@laa98l]

Downpipe and transmission tune clutch depending on auto or manual

[@icxcnika555]

If i switch from APR tuning stage 2 to IE stage 2 and regret it, do i need to take to back to the shop to flash back to APR ? Or just removing IE will automatically go back to APR or the last software i had on my ECU ?

[@IEtuned]

If you flash our file over your APR, it will remove the APR file completely.

[@Niet_Belangrijk]

Will this work on european cars too? Looking at those octane numbers i do not see how that matches european gasoline. Also is there something available for the current 1.5 with 150HP engines?

[@tylerwesley704]

Other countries measure octane in RON The United States does not. So the octane numbers are different.

[@axxo702]

Why no TCU tune for the B9?

[@rolandobarrazaoliva8797]

Hi guys: I'm texting from Perú, i already have a GTI mk7.5 2018 with IE intake, turbo muffler delete and inlet pipe. The car was made in México. My doubt is if the IE flash code suits to my vehicle?

[@yuvirajinder2558]

Once I use your tune, will I only be able to clear fault codes using the iE powerlink cable or will I be able to use any scanner like snap on as normal?

[@IEtuned]

Yes, you can use our cable to do-so. If you prefer to use your Snap-on tool, that would also work. It's your choice.

I bought the mk5 rabbit 2.5l stage 1 tune, but I'm planning to do a swap with another 2.5l engine with less miles. Is it possible for me to tune that same engine with the one I purchased?

[@IEtuned]

The actual tune itself is locked to the VIN/ECU. However, your IE POWERlink van flash up to 5 different engines, you only need to buy the Credits for the new Tune. So you can tune your new 2.5L ECU without having to buy another cable, but you will have to buy the tune for it.

can i buy just the cable and then purchase the tunes through it or do i need to buy them on the website ?

You can purchase just a cable and then buy credits for the tune when you please, yes.

I can't flash my car, but I have a better way to make power anyways. ABA 16v turbo swap. Easy 250+ whp. The same power as a new Golf R, in something that weighs 2400lbs.

Put a Golf R engine in it, tune it... then you'll have a 447HP car that weighs 2400lbs. Win?

[@boostaddict_]

@@IEtuned Little too much power for my purposes, not to mention it's pricey. Would be really fun though. I think I'll stick with the simplicity of an ABA 16vT for my MK3 though.
