FITMENT NOTES
Requires a V4 POWERlink. Older V3 tuners cannot flash the B9 3.0T.
2021-2024 B9.5 transmission tuning has limited support. Some transmissions have security locks that cannot be unlocked. Follow the Audi B9.5 TCU Unlock Guide before buying a transmission tune for these years.
Downpipe notice: aftermarket downpipes used with Stage 2 and Stage 3 are motorsport products. They are not designed to meet emissions standards, are not CARB compliant, and are not for sale or use in California or anywhere prohibited by law.
FAQs
How do I install the tune?
Plug the POWERlink into your OBD2 port, open the app on your Apple or Android phone, and follow the steps. The flash takes minutes.
How much power does it add?
Stock, our dyno shows 346 HP. Stage 1 makes 427 HP on 91 octane, 446 HP on 93, and 505 HP on E85. Stage 3+ makes up to 739 HP with a hybrid turbo. Dyno numbers are for reference against stock only. Your results will vary with fuel quality, local conditions, dyno brand, and correction factors.
Do I need a transmission tune?
Not for Stage 1 or Stage 2. A Stage 1 TCU file that raises the transmission torque limits is included at no cost. The full iE Transmission Tune is optional and highly recommended. Stage 3 requires the matching transmission tune.
Does Stage 2 make more power than Stage 1?
No. The factory downpipe on the B9 3.0T does not restrict the stock turbo, so power is the same. Stage 2 adds the calibration needed to run an aftermarket downpipe, plus a more aggressive exhaust overrun.
What do I need for Stage 3?
A TTE810 or Pure750 hybrid turbo, an upgraded intake, turbo inlet with hybrid adapter, intercooler, and the matching transmission tune. Stage 3+ adds an HPFP upgrade, 4 bar MAP sensors, and upgraded injectors. See the Stage 3 guide for the full list.
Can I run E85?
Yes. Ethanol options are available on all stages. TrueFlex adapts automatically to any blend and requires TrueFlex hardware. On hybrid turbo cars, TrueFlex requires Stage 3+. More on TrueFlex.
Is it safe for a daily driver?
Yes. iE AutoProtect is included on every stage. If it detects a problem it lowers boost and power to protect the engine, then restores power when conditions return to normal. More on AutoProtect.
Will my existing POWERlink work?
Only if it is a V4. The B9 3.0T uses updated flashing protocols that older V3 POWERlinks cannot handle. Check that the serial number on the back starts with V4.
What does it cost to upgrade stages later?
Only the price difference between the two stages, with no extra fees. Install the matching hardware, then buy the upgrade in the POWERlink app.
Are tune updates free?
Yes. Your purchase includes free updates to tune revisions, new octanes, standard features, and software updates. If Audi issues an ECU update, that is included at no charge too.
Can I use my POWERlink on another car?
Yes, on up to 5 different VINs. Tunes are sold separately for each car.
Can I move the tune to a different car?
No. Once applied, the tune is permanently registered to that vehicle. It can transfer to a new owner along with the car.
My car is a 2021 or newer. Can the transmission be tuned?
Possibly. 2021-2024 B9.5 cars have limited support because some transmissions have security locks that cannot be unlocked. Follow the Audi B9.5 TCU Unlock Guide in your POWERlink app before buying a transmission tune.
