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 files will not show available on your IE POWERlink for flashing until the verification process is started. To begin, simply contact [email protected] after purchase.
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.

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

IE STAGE 3 TRANSMISSION TUNE
IE Stage 3 and Stage 3 Plus far exceed the factory set transmission torque limit and requires a complete matching transmission control unit (TCU) calibration. IE's matching Stage 3 TCU tune fully harmonizes the complete drivetrain for the hybrid turbo characteristics with optimized shift points, further increased RPM limits, faster shift speed, user-selectable launch control, new drive-mapping, and more.
Stage 3 TCU Tune is a free upgrade from Stage 2 TCU
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.
