IS20 TURBO UPGRADE
Installing the factory IHI IS20 turbocharger found on 2015-2021 MK7 GTI vehicles offers an easy upgrade to higher boost pressures with power levels delivering up to 301HP & 361TQ on pump gas! This advanced ECU calibration, when combined with the larger IS20 and stage 2 hardware (intake, intercooler, & downpipe), delivers increased powerband and extensive turbo performance.

See the performance tab for full performance results and dyno charts

IS38 TURBO UPGRADE
More than double your factory horsepower with the even larger IHI IS38 turbo upgrade! Installing the factory turbo from a 2015-2021 Golf R or S3 and matching ECU tune delivers a tire-spinning 338HP & 361TQ, providing the maximum performance with the largest powerband possible. Fully transform your unassuming 1.8T engine into a true sports car with an additional 180HP over stock!

ADVANCED ENGINE MANAGEMENT
Upgrading to a larger turbocharger, ECU tune, and required hardware will deliver the maximum power while staying within the safe power limits of the stock engine internals. IE's calibration and software engineers employed highly advanced tuning practices and equipment to develop a complete ground-up engine management system for the larger turbo's boost profile and powerband. All engine mapping and safety coding have been retained and rewritten for substantial power gains for your larger IHI IS20 or IS38 turbocharger.

Transmission notes: MQB 1.8T Gen 3 vehicles are equipped with three different transmission options; manual, DSG (DQ250), and traditional automatic (AQ250). Transmission tuning is not available for the automatic AQ250 trans, and vehicles equipped with these will not qualify for increased RPM and may see reduced power on Stage 2 and higher ECU tunes. IS38 turbo tunes are only compatible with DSG & manual trans and do not support the AQ250. Please verify your transmission type before purchasing a DSG or IS38 tune.

IE MQB 1.8T ECU tuning support is unavailable for FWD Audi A3 with MAF sensors.
