Integrated Engineering Performance ECU Flash Audi S3 8Y/VW Golf R Mk8 21-25 (S1 Core)

Requires Integrated Engineering POWERLink OBDII Dongle.

IE Performance ECU/TCU Software | 2022+ VW Golf R (MK8) & Audi S3 (8Y)

Unlock the true performance potential of your 2022+ Volkswagen Golf R or Audi S3 with Integrated Engineering’s advanced ECU tuning platform. Featuring POWERlink Mobile technology, owners can flash their ECU, switch fuel octane maps, upgrade power stages, and run diagnostic monitoring — all from a mobile device or Windows laptop. No shop required, no downtime, no complicated installs.

Gain Up To 462 HP & 460 FT-LBS of Torque

This isn’t just a slight bump in boost — IE tuning fully recalibrates your engine’s boost pressure, ignition timing, throttle mapping, torque limits, and power delivery while maintaining OEM-level safety. Whether stock or modified, your EA888.4 platform responds with faster spool, massive mid-range torque, and a night-and-day driving transformation.

•  Stage 1 Core: 385–397 HP / 403–407 FT-LBS — no hardware required
•  Stage 1 Pro (E85 Enabled): up to 457 HP / 460 FT-LBS
•  Stage 2 Pro: up to 462 HP / 460 FT-LBS with intake + intercooler upgrades

Dyno Verified Performance

Using 93 octane fuel and TrueFlex hardware, the iE Pro Suite delivers:

• 0-100 km/h acceleration improved dramatically
• Stronger launch torque & higher powerband pull
• Major gains in repeatability thanks to heat management

TrueFlex Ethanol — Fill & Go

Ethanol (E85) enables cooler combustion and higher knock resistance. IE’s TrueFlex automatically adjusts fuel/ignition timing based on ethanol content without switching maps manually. Any mix works — from 91 to full E85.

AutoProtect Safety Built-In

If poor fuel or mechanical issues are detected, the tune safely reduces power until conditions recover — then automatically restores full performance.

Transmission Compatibility

For models with locked TPSG (DSG) control units, IE tuning includes torque signal optimization to deliver full power safely — even without a TCU tune.
