For more information, visit IE Stage 1 ECU calibration is a simple flash-only upgrade that delivers instant performance with up to 505HP and 585ft-lbs of torque! The larger powerband, higher rev limit, and increased boost pressures produce exceptionally faster 0-60 times and acceleration in any scenario. This advanced calibration can be installed in an entirely stock car or will adapt to take advantage of intake and intercooler upgrades.
B9/B9.5 3.0T STAGE 1 PLUS
IE Stage 1 Plus delivers the most power possible from E85 fuel with an upgraded HPFP (High Pressure Fuel Pump). By increasing the fuel pump's ability to supply additional ethanol demands, our Stage 1 Plus tune produces an even more significant surge in power with a massive 505 horsepower and 650ft-lbs of torque! This ECU calibration pushes your Audi into a higher vehicle class of performance with an intense pull. Requires HPFP upgraded internals with 11.7mm pin size.
Stage 1 Plus is included at no additional cost.
B9/B9.5 3.0T STAGE 2 / STAGE 2 PLUS
IE Stage 2 and Stage 2 Plus ECU tunes are calibrated for aftermarket downpipes to deliver a louder exhaust note and include a more aggressive exhaust overrun/crackle feature in dynamic drive mode.
The B9 3.0T engine includes a large and efficient factory downpipe that does not result in power or exhaust restrictions on stock turbocharger ECU tunes. Although this platform does not provide additional power gains on Stage 2 tunes, IE files will provide the necessary ECU calibrations to support aftermarket downpipes for users looking for a more aggressive exhaust note.
STAGE 3 FEATURES
The multi-world record holding IE Stage 3 and Stage 3 Plus calibration suite is designed for use with bolt-in hybrid turbo upgrades and matching hardware. These advanced tunes gain massive peak power and torque, incredible transient response, minimal turbo lag, and delivers more power longer into higher RPMs all the way to redline. The new power curve completely transforms your B9 3.0T into an exotic-destroying performance machine on the track with the ability to run 9-second quarter-mile passes and still be reliably enjoyed on your everyday drive. Using simple bolt-in hardware and our Stage 3 ECU tuning, get ready to experience true racecar power without compromise!

CATERED TUNE VERIFICATION
This is an advanced ECU calibration that delivers BIG power numbers, taking a responsible tuning approach; every Stage 3 or Stage 3 Plus purchase includes and requires a catered introduction with an IE calibrator. During this quick process, your existing or new hardware setup will be verified to ensure proper compatibility before flashing the file. Once the tune is applied, our calibration team will then walk you through an easy logging process where your own engine data will be obsessively reviewed and confirmed for proper operation and safety parameters. Prepare for a truly exhilarating driving experience knowing IE has your back.
STAGE 3
Stock fueling hardware
IE Stage 3 offers an easy upgrade into hybrid turbo power levels on pump fuel (91, 93, or 104 octanes) with only the turbocharger upgrade and stage 2 hardware (intake, turbo inlet, intercooler, & downpipe). This setup delivers deceivingly fast performance on stock MAP sensors without additional fueling upgrades.

STAGE 3 HPFP
Upgraded fuel pump & MAP sensors
IE Stage 3 HPFP utilizes additional fuel delivery from an upgraded HPFP (High Pressure Fuel Pump) to further increase power and torque safely on pump gas 91, 93, and race gas 104 files. These HPFP tune files require all the hardware from Stage 3 plus an upgraded HPFP internal kit and 4 bar MAP sensors.
| PART UPGRADE | REQUIREMENT | INFO |

STAGE 3 PLUS
Upgrade HPFP, MAP sensors, and injectors
IE Stage 3 plus is for those looking to smash the competition with the maximum power output available from the hybrid turbocharger. This blistering fast calibration unlocks E70 ethanol blend and additional power on all octane fuels with an upgraded HPFP, TTE 4 bar map sensors, and upgraded injectors. Ethanol content must not exceed E70 of the required blend; an ethanol content sensor kit and gauge are highly recommended.

SUPPORTED HYBRID TURBOS
IE engineers and calibrators valued fast boost response, top-end power, and a robust build when selecting a supported turbocharger as the base for our Stage 3 tuning. After extensive research and testing, we found multiple hybrid turbo options that offer a unique combination of big top-end power and responsive boost with very minimal lag, all wrapped up in an easy direct bolt-in install. Combined with IE's calibration strategies, the result is a perfect marriage of modern vehicle tech and raw chest-pounding performance. Turbo sold separately
