Ethanol is rocket fuel for your daily driver. Our TrueFlex flex-fuel conversion kit upgrades the factory engine computer to read and instantly adapt to any Ethanol blend, unleashing huge power.
TrueFlex Tuning is included with every stage, additional hardware is required.
FULL POWER ON ANY TRANSMISSION
2021+ model years and some 2019-2020 variations are equipped with a Gen 2 factory transmission control unit (TCU) with advanced factory security that locks them from tuning. Stock TCU tunes include software limiters that restrict engine power when torque limits are exceeded from ECU tuning. For Q5 models with locked TCUs, our calibration team has custom-coded the engine control unit (ECU) programming to properly manage torque signals to and from the transmission. This advanced strategy safely enables full horsepower and torque, even without a TCU tune.
Included on all stages and octanes.
ECU STAGES
HIGH-PERFORMANCE ENGINE SOFTWARE
Q5 2.0T STAGE 1
Add significant increases in performance with up to 314 horsepower and 396ft-lbs from an iE Stage 1 ECU Tune for your Audi B9 Q5. Flash instant horsepower gains, increased torque, and faster acceleration with octane-specific map options for 91, 93, or TrueFlex ethanol fuels. Engineered to operate on stock hardware or compatible with intake, intercooler, catback exhaust, and TrueFlex upgrades.
See the performance tab for power results and dyno charts.
Q5 2.0T STAGE 2
Ready for more? The iE Stage 2 ECU tune with an upgraded downpipe delivers the most performance potential available from your stock engine and turbocharger with a tire-spinning 337-377HP and 410-456ft-lbs of torque! Maximum accelration gains are realized across the powerband with options for 91, 93, 104, or TrueFlex ethanol fuels. Stage 2 includes aggressive exhaust afterrun in sport mode.
See below for a list of Stage 2 hardware requirements.
Upgrading from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or beyond is easy! With iE, you only pay the difference in tune cost with no extra fees. When you install the required matching hardware, follow the instructions on your IE POWERlink app to purchase the tune upgrade, and you will be blowing away the competition in minutes!
UPGRADE GUIDE
While no hardware upgrades are required for Stage 1, upgrading the intake and intercooler will provide increased airflow, lower intake air temps, and quicker heat soak recovery for an overall more efficient and faster vehicle.
| PART UPGRADE | STAGE 1 | STAGE 2 | NOTES |
| AIR INTAKE | | | Recommended |
| TCU TUNE | | | Highly recommended |
| INTERCOOLER | | | Highly recommended on Stage 2 |
| CATBACK EXHAUST | | | Compatible with all stages |
| HPFP UPGRADE(FUEL PUMP) | | | Required for TrueFlex only |
| DOWNPIPE | X | | Not Compatible With Stage 1 |
POWER & SAFETY
Your new high-performance tune is calibrated to safely maximize the engine and turbocharger power capability without sacrificing safety functions or daily comfort. All safety protocols and sensors are reprogrammed and expanded to the new performance tuning. Every ECU parameter undergoes months of testing on our in-house dyno systems that utilize the world's only Sea Level Generator developed specifically to verify safety operations in any condition. Confidently drive from LA to Pikes Peak with the power to keep you smiling every mile!

TCU TUNE
HIGH-PERFORMANCE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE
PERFORMANCE MATCHED
Unlock the full potential of your iE B9 SUV Stage 1 or Stage 2 engine (ECU) tune with our matching transmission (TCU) tune. Without it, your power gains and performance features are limited, leaving untapped acceleration and power on the table. Upgrading to the iE TCU tune significantly enhances shift speeds, eliminates torque limiters, increases line pressure to prevent transmission slip, and introduces user-adjustable launch control functions. Experience a dramatic enhancement in launch power, pulling force, shift responsiveness, and overall acceleration.
- Lightning fast shifts -further improves acceleration and 0-60 times
- Full power from ECU tunes -removes power robbing torque limiters
- Adjustable launch control -dial in the perfect launch for your setup
- Enables gear display -dash always displays current gear in drive/sport modes
- Full torque during AMAX shifts -torque reduction programming removed
Important note: Compatible with 2017-2020 DL382 DSG "Gen 1" transmissions only. TCU tune is currently incompatible with all 2021+ "Gen 2" TCU versions. In some rare cases, 2019 and 2020 model year vehicles may be equipped with unsupported Gen 2 variations.
VARIABLE LAUNCH CONTROL
Experience chest-pounding launches with our iE transmission tune featuring adjustable launch control. Tailored for optimal performance, choose from three distinct launch options: street, aggressive, and race. Each option increases the launch RPMs, allowing you to customize the launch experience to suit your vehicle and tire setup for the best grip and take-off power. Each launch setting offers two RPM launch and AMAX options, easily controlled by the throttle pedal:
- Apply 100% throttle input without engaging the kickdown switch to launch from the minimal chosen RPM without AMAX.
- Engage full pedal pressure while activating the kickdown switch to launch with an additional 400RPMs and trigger AMAX in all shifts, delivering the most aggressive launch and pull strategy.
| LAUNCH SETTING | MINIMUM RPM | MAXIMUM RPM |
| STREET | 3000 RPM | 3400 RPM (W/AMAX) |
| AGGRESSIVE | 3400 RPM | 3800 RPM (W/AMAX) |
| RACE | 3800 RPM | 4200 RPM (W/AMAX) |
Note: AMAX is an advanced shift programming that greatly improves accleration by maintaing power to both transmission clutches simutaniously while transitioning between gears. This feature delivers a strong advantage in a competitive drag racing type scenario.
DRIVING ENHANCEMENTS
The factory transmission calibration often falls short in meeting the demands of performance enthusiasts, leaving much to be desired. iE's TCU tune addresses these limitations by entirely reworking the transmission drive-mapping strategy, catering specifically to the enthusiast driver. Beyond driving improvements, our TCU tune introduces additional features designed to enhance the driving experience:
- Reduced take-off lag time from a standstill.
- Enables gear display on the dashboard in both drive and sport modes.
- Eliminates factory torque pull during AMAX shifting.
- Increases protection by automatically reducing engine power if transmission temperatures climb too high.
