WHAT DOES THE VW 2.5L ECU TUNE DO?
IE's 07K 5 Cylinder ECU calibration brings real-world performance to your VW while retaining factory comfort and reliability.

AVAILABLE VW 07K TUNE STAGES
The IE Stage 1 VW 2.5L tune delivers an aggressive power upgrade without having to install any hardware modifications. Perfect for customers looking for a jump in power without adding any additional hardware. In a matter of minutes, the vehicle will be much more enjoyable to drive with a boost in performance. This tune also deals with many factory tune annoyances on the 2.5L engine such as throttle hesitation, rev hang, and response that greatly adds to drivability feel. Designed for use with regular pump 91/93 octane.

The IE Stage 2 VW 2.5L performance flash is designed for customers looking to maximize the performance of the factory engine with an IE Performance Intake Manifold (Sold Separately). IE Stage 2 software fine-tunes the ECU calibration to match the manifold flow characteristics. Stage 2 results deliver massive power gains across the powerband, fully realizing the 2.5L engine's potential without adding boost or high compression pistons. *IE Stage 2 Manifold Tune is only for vehicles with electric power steering. 

Stage 2 required hardware 

• IE Performance 2.5L Intake Manifold (required)
• IE 2.5L Transmission Tune (required for automatic vehicles)

EASY INSTALLATION - TUNE FROM HOME
IE's own in-house developed POWERlink cable gives you the control to unlock your engine’s true potential from your own garage or driveway. Enjoy the freedom to quickly reflash your car’s engine control unit (ECU) or transmission control unit (TCU) with IE’s line of performance tunes. The cable simply plugs into your vehicle’s OBD-2 port delivering instant access to choose different IE Tune stages to match installed hardware, take advantage of different fuel octanes, flash to stock, perform engine diagnostics, read/clear codes and gather high-quality operating data via logging.

STAGE 2 INTAKE MANIFOLD FITMENT

POWER STEERING
This manifold will fit all VW 2.5L engines with the electric power steering system. Some later style engines use a hydraulic power steering pump, which sits right below the factory intake manifold. If your car is equipped with a hydraulic power steering pump, this manifold will not fit.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TUNE REQUIRED
Automatic vehicles require a matching IE TCU Transmission tune to allow high revving of the automatic transmission. The stock automatic tune has internal transmission rev limit controllers that shift before the manifold and software can make the extra power gained through the upgrade. IE's Auto Transmission Tune removes this limiter allowing full advantage of the manifold & tune.

Once a tune purchase is applied to your vehicle's ECU, the tune is permanently registered to the vehicle and non-transferable to other vehicles. Tune can be transferred to a second party in the event of vehicle transfer of ownership only.

GET THE MOST FROM YOUR AUTO TRANS
Get the full performance out of your 2.5L engine tune on automatic transmissions with IE's TCU tune for all VW MK5 & MK6 2.5L autos. Unlock the higher RPM range for Stage 1 and Stage 2 Intake Manifold Tunes and let that 5 cylinder breath. Enjoy increased power, higher RPM limit, and faster shifts with optimized and adjustable shift points.

LEADING FEATURES

• Unlock higher RPM limits on 2.5L automatics
• Higher shift points of 6800 or 7100 RPM
• Allows the use of the IE Intake Manifold on automatics
• Perfect match for Stage 1 or Stage 2 ECU Tunes
• Flashed directly through OBD-II Port (No TCU removal required)
• All safety and reliability features retained

WHAT DOES A TRANSMISSION TUNE DO?
Stock transmission tuning on the automatic VW 2.5L engines limits the RPM range and greatly reduces the available power of your rev happy 2.5L 5 cylinder engine. IE's TCU tune has been carefully set up to offer you the full performance benefits of ECU tuning and hardware upgrades such as the IE Intake Manifold by safely increasing the available RPM limit. The result is a fully unlocked power range offering the entire performance capability of the 2.5L engine on your automatic transmission.

PERFECT FOR ANY TUNE STAGE
IE’s TCU tune is all-inclusive and does not offer expensive upgrades. That’s right, there are no unnecessary upgrade charges and all features are included from the outset. The purchase of this tune offers all features for every Stage of ECU tune with no fee or upgrade cost when going from Stage 1 to Stage 2 Intake Manifold Tunes. Transmission tune requires a matching ECU Tune, do not install on stock ECU tunes. 

USER ADJUSTABLE SHIFT LIMITER
The purchase of an IE TCU file grants you access to customization of shift points. With optional RPM limits to choose from you can pick what works best for your setup! 6800 RPM limit is commonly paired with Stage 1 ECU files while the 7100 RPM limit completely unlocks the massive power gained in the upper RPM limit when paired with our Stage 2 ECU Tune and Intake Manifold.

Available Shift Points:

• 6800 RPM
• 7100 RPM

IE TCU TUNE TECHNICAL FEATURES

HIGHER SHIFT POINTS
Utilize the whole powerband of your 2.5L engine without the transmission interfering and shifting early.

ALLOWS USE OF IE INTAKE MANIFOLD
The IE intake manifold is a popular upgrade for owners looking for the full power potential from the stock 2.5L engine. Until now, the power was completely limited to manual transmission cars only as the automatic trans would shift before the power gains in the higher RPMs could be utilized. Now you can join in the fun on your own automatic 2.5L vehicle and rev happy adding up to 47HP & 38TQ when paired with an IE Manifold & Stage 2 Tune! (IE Manifold is not compatible with vehicles equipped with hydraulic power steering)

INCREASED POWER WITH ECU TUNE
Increasing the RPM limit allows your matching IE Stage 1 or Stage 2 tune to make power higher into the RPM range fully unlocking the hidden power available at higher shifts.

FLAWLESS OPERATION WITH IE ECU TUNES
IE TCU and ECU Tunes were developed side by side on our in-house dynamometer. By running both tunes you will unlock the full potential of your 2.5L 07K engine and transmission.

IE POWERlink DIRECT PORT FLASH TOOL
IE's POWERlink direct port flash tool is required to flash your ECU (engine control unit) or TCU (transmission control unit) and is available separately. The POWERlink tool is sold with all new IE ECU tunes and can also be used to flash your new DSG tune. If you already own an IE POWERlink unit, purchasing this file will add the credits to your cable within one working day. If you do not own a POWERlink cable, please chose to add one in the drop-down menu above.

*IE TCU tunes are available only for vehicles equipped with automatic (AQ250) transmissions. Not required or compatible with manual transmission cars.
Once a tune purchase is applied to your vehicle's ECU, the tune is permanently registered to the vehicle and non-transferable to other vehicles. Tune can be transferred to a second party in the event of vehicle transfer of ownership only.
