B9 3.0T STAGE 1

IE Stage 1 ECU calibration dramatically increases performance with up to 505HP & 585TQ, transforming your turbocharged 3.0L into a truly performance-classed vehicle. IE's advanced tuning strategies leave no hidden power on the table and safely max out the factory turbocharger's capability. Engineered to operate on entirely stock hardware and compatible with basic bolt-ons (intake, turbo inlet, intercooler) without the need to retune.

See performance tab for full performance results & dyno reports

B9 3.0T STAGE 2

IE Stage 2 performance software is a complete engine calibration for full bolt-on stock turbo builds running an aftermarket racing downpipe and catalyst. The unique B9 EA839 engines are equipped with a smaller factory turbo and large stock downpipe with incredibly minimal exhaust restrictions. Using advanced calibration techniques, IE calibrators can extract full peak power on pump gas and ethanol fuels on Stage 1 and 2 downpipe setups. However, the required hardware upgrades for stage 2 will increase airflow, lower intake air temps, faster IAT recovery, and produce an overall more efficient and faster vehicle on the same power.

See below for a complete list of Stage 2 hardware requirements

STAGE 1 & STAGE 2 PLUS HPFP

Stage 1 & 2 Plus ECU tunes are calibrated to support increased fuel delivery from upgraded HPFP (High-Pressure Fuel Pump) internals providing additional horsepower and torque through the mid-range of the power band. Acceleration dramatically improves with a 52HP gain in the mid-RPM (peak HP number remains the same) and up to 75ft-lbs of additional torque on E85! Our matching Stage 2+ TCU transmission tune (sold separately) also includes optimized shift points that double down on the intense pull through the middle of the powerband, further increasing acceleration and faster 1/4 mile times.

Stage 1+ & 2+ tunes are included at no additional cost
Requires HPFP upgraded internals with 11.7mm pin size

ETHANOL FUELS

E85 & E40 blend ethanol fuels are included with all stages and unlock the most performance potential from our ECU tunes. Ethanol contains tons of oxygen, burns cooler, and has a high resistance to knock. This provides more horsepower and torque than running conventional gasoline and is much less expensive than race gas.

FULL E85

IE calibrators spent many months developing and testing ethanol blends on the B9 3.0T engines in many climates and elevations. Results were consistent that full E85 runs very close to or beyond the limit of the factory direct injection (DI) fuel system in the mid-range but allows for more power up top. IE's E85 calibration keeps mid-range power in check to avoid lean conditions, misfires, and power loss then ramps it up top for amazingly fast and consistent track times in a drag racing scenario. E85 is also great for easy fill-ups at the pump for daily driving without mixing blends.

E40 BLEND

E40 is an ethanol mix of E85 with regular pump 91/93 fuel creating a lower ethanol content fuel. E40 offers the optimal ethanol content for the factory DI fuel system in the mid-range of the power band. The lower content ethanol allows this file to create the maximum power output from 3000RPM-4000RPM, perfect for road course and track racing. E40 will also result in a faster feeling car in most street driving situations.

An ethanol content sensor kit is highly recommended when running ethanol blends.

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.

EXHAUST OVERRUN

The stock calibration features a very mild overrun/crackle when you decelerate from higher RPM, but is very hard to hear with factory downpipe/exhaust. Stage 2 files turn up the aggressiveness of this overrun and enable crackles on free-revving in neutral or park. Not only will your car drive faster, it will sound faster too! Guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Exhaust Overrun is included on stage 2 tunes.

BOOST CONTROL

The stock ECU boost control is delivered in a very “close enough” and erratic boost curve. This slow response is reflected in the factory torque curve and can be felt on long power pulls when utilizing the entire powerband. To smooth out this torque curve, IE calibrators re-tuned the boost control mapping to be much faster achieving precision boost request targeting that results in unmatched power delivery.

THROTTLE MAPPING

The new generation Audi MG1 ECU uses a complicated mass flow model to calculate boost control. Typical ECU tunes simply raise the wastegate pressure, however, since the maps that control wastegate position (boost) are not controlled by throttle input resulting in limited throttle predictability. To avoid delivering full-boost at half throttle input, IE engineers have taken the care to rescale the entire mass flow model mathematically over 30 maps which correct the entire range of throttle input. This delivers a linear and predictable throttle pedal which improves drivability in every situation on the street or track.

EGT OPTIMIZATION

Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) is the measurement of fuel mixtures exiting the exhaust and is used to determine the health of the fuel/air mixture entering the engine. IE engineers have spent countless hours adjusting boost air/fuel ratio, ignition timing angle, camshaft phasing, intake air temps, and much more to develop the proper EGT adjustments for ultimate engine safety without sacrificing power on all octanes. Since Ethanol burns cooler than gasoline, the extra fuel left over in the cylinders acts as coolant further reducing combustion temperatures and allows for a leaner air to fuel ratio without dangerous EGT levels. All IE files contain safety measures and complete knock control to keep the engine producing its potential within verified and safety-first operation.

RECALIBRATED VE

The factory engine calibration shows a significant drop in torque and power around 3000 RPM due to the unique volumetric efficiency (VE) of the stock 3.0T engine. Instead of tuning around this drop in VE or attempting to simply raise the factory torque/load maps to compensate, our calibrators have completely solved and removed this drop from our ECU calibrations entirely.

IE's dyno charts are ported directly from our in-house dyno cells and are not modified or "smoothed" in any way.

UPGRADING STAGES

Upgrading from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or Stage 3 is easy! With IE, you only pay the difference in tune cost with no extra fees. When you install the required matching hardware, simply follow the link on your IE POWERlink software to purchase the tune upgrade and you will be enjoying the next level of power in minutes!

STAGE 3 TUNE DEVELOPMENT

REAL WORLD TESTING

At every stage of tune development, the results were dyno tested, street verified, pushed on the track, and expanded to a beta testing community. This verification process provides a library of data from various vehicles, fuels, climates, weather conditions, and altitudes, all used to make numerous changes to the files to maximize performance, driving characteristics, and reliability in any situation. In one of these track tests, an early TTE710 tune variant set the B9 3.0T world record and became the official first B9 3.0T in the 9s!

CUSTOMER SUCCESS

Our B9 3.0T hybrid tuning success on the track is not a one hit wonder with our own development car only. Running IE Stage 3 Plus tuning, our customers have also set the current B9 SQ5 record with a 10.17 and the second place quarter-mile B9 S4 record (just barley behind our 9-second run) with a 10.008 1/4th mile! If you want a fast Audi, IE delivers top-tier performance without sacrificing reliability that delivers exhilarating fun on the track and street.

ENGINE MANAGEMENT

Stage 3 horsepower is a serious amount of power for any engine. To keep the stock engine internals safe under these extreme power levels, IE calibration and software engineers employed highly advanced tuning practices and equipment to develop a complete ground-up engine management system within the factory ECU. Extensive mapping rework was performed to support the hybrid turbos and verified in thousands of complete powerband pulls in our dyno cells and countless hours of testing every tune iteration on the street and track. All performance calibrations and safety coding has been rewritten and converted to run with the substantial power gains from the large hybrid turbocharger.

ADVANCED R&D

To properly configure the ECU, IE's engineers installed a variety of additional sensors and probes throughout the engine to record critical data that is not available via the factory equipment. This is an expensive and tedious process; however, the information gathered is priceless when calibrating the ECU for the new hardware specifications. The added sensors record cylinder pressures, EGT, exhaust pressure, mass airflow, and more for a high-resolution log of important turbo and engine operating parameters.

MAPPING STRATEGY

The advanced software development strategies provide the confidence to responsibly build a calibration suite for peak power output without relying on risky modeled information or guesses for engine and drivetrain safety. Hundreds of maps have been defined and calibrated from a ground-up approach to create a fully rounded software suite designed to deliver professional motorsport quality performance while improving everyday driving characteristics beyond factory programming. The result is more than adjusted stock tune mapping and delivers a true large turbo engine management system completely realized within the factory ECU.

COMPRESSOR EFFECIENCY

One of the countless important examples of this advanced programming is the development of the factory wastegate/boost pressure control mapping. The MG1 ECU contains a sophisticated model with many inputs used to ensure proper engine safety adaptations for any operating condition or climate; the compressor efficiency of the larger turbo drastically alters this model. Instead of tuning around these shortcomings with compromises, IE's calibration team expanded the map structure specifically to each hybrid turbo from the ground up, ensuring proper drivability, perfect boost control, safe boost regulation, and guaranteed consistency in all driving conditions.

WASTEGATE PREDICTED STROKE

The vast difference in wastegate flow and response with the larger turbo options compared to the stock turbo provides another extreme example of a situation where the factory mapping has been completely disregarded and replaced with an entirely new strategy. Significant time has been invested in perfecting every input affecting this system resulting in a map that has taken on an entirely different shape matching the characteristics of the hybrid turbo's boost control. This thorough calibration process is the result of many months but delivers unparalleled power delivery and reliable power at any throttle input beyond even the factory feel.

HARDWARE RECOMMENDATIONS

IE INTAKE SYSTEM & TURBO INLET PIPE PICTURED WITH TTE HYBRID TURBO & IE CAST DOWNPIPE

AIR INTAKE SYSTEM

The larger turbocharger requires increased airflow from an upgraded air intake system. Additionally, hybrid turbos have an increased turbo inlet size at the compressor requiring a matching aftermarket turbo inlet. IE intake and turbo inlet are recommended to make the installation process of your new hybrid turbo a simple bolt-in job. Our cast turbo inlet design utilizes a CNC-machined adapter to fit the TTE710/TTE810 without hassle while maintaining the largest size possible for zero flow restrictions. Pure750 adapter coming soon

DOWNPIPE UPGRADE

The factory-equipped downpipe cannot support the power levels provided by IE's Stage 3 race suite and the hybrid turbo's exhaust flow rate; a performance aftermarket downpipe is required. Our development vehicle was equipped with this downpipe and TTE710 in our world-first 9-second B9 3.0T quarter-mile run. Our IE Cast Catted Downpipe Kit provides a direct-fit install with the hybrid turbo.

INTERCOOLER

With power comes heat; upgrading your intercooler is crucial for both performance and safety on IE Stage 3 power levels. Our IE FDS Intercooler upgrade is highly recommended to provide the lowest IATs from unique design features and proven charge-air cooling capability.

MAXIMIZED OUTPUT

IE ECU calibrations are dedicated to perfecting every section of the mapping to deliver a fully realized performance file right out of the gate. Maximized for full performance potential on the drag strip and road coarse while maintaining full comfort and reliability on your daily commute.
