3.0T SUPERCHARGED STAGE 1
IE Stage 1 ECU calibration dramatically increases performance with up to 416HP & 391TQ, transforming your supercharged 3.0L into a truly performance-classed vehicle. Engineered to operate on entirely stock hardware and compatible with basic bolt-ons (intake, exhaust, heat exchanger) without the need to retune.
STAGE 2 SINGLE PULLEY
Stage 2 single pulley files are calibrated for a smaller press-on supercharger pulley delivering up to 492HP with minimal hardware upgrades. The single pulley ratio is achieved by driving the supercharger faster via the smaller pulley. See below for recommended pulley option:
PULLEY STYLE | IE PART NUMBER | PULLEY SIZE (MM) | FINAL RATIO |

STAGE 2 DUAL PULLEY
Go all out and maximize the full power potential available from the factory supercharger with a stage 2 dual pulley setup. The maximized dual pulley ratio can be achieved by combining the smaller 57.5mm press-fit supercharger pulley with a 188mm crank pulley -or skip to dual pulley in one product with the single 207mm overdrive crank pulley for up to 548HP! See below for recommended pulley options.
PULLEY STYLE | IE PART NUMBER | PULLEY SIZE (MM) | FINAL RATIO |

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!

Dual pulley tune ratio can be acheived by combining press-on supercharger pulley with 188mm crank pulley or with 207mm crank pulley on it's own. IE does not recommend use of 188mm pulley on it's own or combining 207mm crank pulley with upper press-on SC pulley.
DUAL PULLEY E40 ETHANOL
Ethanol contains tons of oxygen, burns cooler, and has a high resistance to knock. This provides the tuning potential for a massive horsepower and torque gain over running conventional gasoline and is more readily available (in most states) and less expensive than race gas. The factory fuel system with an upgraded HPFP (high pressure fuel pump) can support a maximum mix of 2/5ths E85 and 3/5ths 91/93 premium gas to produce an E40 ethanol blend delivering up to an intense 548HP & 525ft-lbs of torque!
INCREASED RPM
The powerband has been optimized To take advantage of the new boost curve and pulley ratios. The RPM limits are raised in all gears to 7200RPM on stage 1 & stage 2 single pulley tunes and 7350RPM on dual pulley. DSG-equipped cars will shift slightly before the new engine RPM limits.
DSG Tune is required to unlock higher RPM.
2-STEP LAUNCH CONTROL
2-step is an advanced motorsport ECU calibration feature built into the ECU software. This drag racing style launch will dramatically increase your 60 foot and acceleration off the line by building engine load and boost from a stop providing a large advantage over similarly powered vehicles in a competitive scenario.
Available upgrade for single pulley tunes and included with with dual pulley files.
