Your VW MK8 GTI is holding out on you. Time to find out what your vehicle is really made of with iE’s POWERLink Mobile Tuning Suit. Just hook it up to your car’s OBD II port and create a wireless link. Flash tunes, change launch control settings, switch octanes, upgrade stages, run diagnostics, monitor live data, and more from your Apple or Android phone. Truly plug-and-play!
The factory transmission control units (TCU) include software limiters that restrict engine power when torque limits are exceeded from tuning. For GTI 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.
The iE Stage 1 ECU tune delivers an easy 56% more horsepower and 44% more torque on stock hardware. This simple flash-only upgrade overhauls your engine computer with massive power gains, increased rev limit, enthusiast drive mapping, snappy throttle response, and increased boost pressures. Enjoy faster 0-60 times and stronger acceleration in only minutes from your phone!
Ready for the next step? Jump to Stage 2 by upgrading your intake and intercooler to unlock more power. This tune retains all Stage 1 features while taking full advantage of increased airflow, lower intake air temps, and faster heat recovery to safely maximize the performance of the stock turbocharger. Exhaust lovers will love the added overrun/crackle feature.
Ethanol is like rocket fuel for your GTI! Stage 1 & 2 supports E60-E85 ethanol blends that produce the highest power output due to running cooler and have a higher knock resistance than 91/93 pump gas.
NOTE: Stage 2 tune requires upgraded air intake and intercooler.
