The IE laid down 257 at 6200! Run after run the power was within 2 HP and 3 TQ of each other. My other tunes barely made 210hp at 6200. I really did not think I could get decent power above 4800 unless I went K04. Initially I thought the scaling was wrong….seriously I asked Keith (Owner AWD Tuning) if there something wrong with the way the graph was setup today? This tune pulled all the way to redline! On the stock turbo. Go time! As the first power run finished up I anxiously peaked over to see the results. Also this was to make sure the straps were properly set and no other issues with how the car sat on the dyno. We ran the car up to temperature to make sure the car would not have any issues during the run. This was to see how this tune puts the power to the wheels. We strapped the GTI down and started the setup runs of the day on the IE tune. I have run my car more 10-12 times on the dyno and every power curve would start to die after 4800rpms. So before today’s dyno I thought it was normal for the MK6, on the stock turbo, to run out of oomph. So on to the Dyno to see how the curves for HP and TQ look. I had the DSG tune as well so I could not say at that time it was solely the ECU. I took the car to a track day (HPDE) and I was able to shave a full second off my time. So at first I thought it must be down on power, because the easiest way to make a turbo car feel NA is to limit the low end boost so you have a smooth pull through the whole RPM range. Oddly this felt more linear in the way it pulled off the start, and to the higher RPM’s. With every other tune I could dial in the peak and when a good time to shift would be. The car drove strong but I could not get a good feel for where my peak HP was. On the IE tune the car had a very clean power delivery. Every company has a different idea of what the “ideal” tune is and this shows when we you start to push the envelope of what the stock turbo can do. So I know what a good tune is and what a crap tune is. I have the benefit of running four different companies’ OTS tunes, too include a custom tune.

The flash software walks you through the installation steps.Īlso if you know someone with a POWERlink you only have to buy the tune and you can use your friend’s cable to flash your car. This gives you access to the IE Flash Wizard software. Plug the POWERlink cable into your vehicle’s OBD-II port, and the USB port on your laptop. Make sure you take the time to get everything downloaded. Like most I have been through several tunes and the setup is the same. This matches my experience with their DSG tune. Access to the Tune through their Flash software (free to download once you have the POWERlink).One IE POWERlink direct port flash tool (only needed if you do not already have their ECU flash).Why mess with two different companies on the same car.
