VW 1.8T TSI Gen 3 Performance ECU Tune - Stage 2 | Fits Audi A3 VW Alltrack Sportwagen Golf MK7

Take your MQB 1.8T Gen 3 to the next level with Integrated Engineering’s Stage 2 ECU Tune. Designed to pair with basic bolt-ons such as an upgraded intake, intercooler, and downpipe, Stage 2 unlocks dramatic performance gains—up to 248 HP and 348 TQ* on 93 octane—while preserving daily drivability and reliability.

Developed and tested in-house, IE’s Stage 2 calibration maximizes airflow and boost on the factory IS12 turbo with supporting hardware. The result is a broad, torque-rich powerband that pulls hard across the rev range and transforms your 1.8T into a true performer.
