Engineered to operate on completely stock hardware or compatible with intake, heat exchanger, and exhaust upgrades.
See the performance tab for power results and dyno charts.
Stage 2 single pulley files are calibrated to increase performance and deliver increased boost from a supercharger pulley upgrade. This ECU calibration combined with a 57.5mm bolt-on supercharger pulley delivers up to 524HP with minimal hardware upgrades.
Upgrading from Stage 1 to Stage 2 or beyond is easy! With IE, you only pay the difference in tune cost with no extra fees. When you install the required matching hardware, follow the instructions on your IE POWERlink app to purchase the tune upgrade, and you will be blowing away the competition in minutes!
| PART UPGRADE | STAGE 1 | STAGE 2 |
|---|---|---|
| TRANSMISSION TUNE | OPTIONAL (highly recommended) | OPTIONAL (recommended for highest power output) |
| AIR INTAKE | OPTIONAL | OPTIONAL |
| HEAT EXCHANGER | OPTIONAL | OPTIONAL (highly recommended) |
| IE DOWNPIPES | OPTIONAL | OPTIONAL |
| UPPER PULLEY | NOT COMPATIBLE | REQUIRED |
| LOWER PULLEY | NOT COMPATIBLE | NOT COMPATIBLE |
All stages of IE ECU calibrations for the C7.5 A6 & A7 are compatible with the matching IE ZF8 AL551 Transmission TCU Tune and is highly recommended to reach the advertised power figures. Without a matching TCU tune, the transmission will short shift the powerband at 6300 RPM vs. the ECU tune's peak power at 7200RPM -leaving power on the table. Adding the TCU upgrade also modifies shift speed, torque limit maps, line pressure, and launch control functions resulting in a complete ECU & TCU performance package.
E85 fuel unlocks the most performance potential from our ECU tunes for your Audi A6 or A7 3.0T. Ethanol contains tons of oxygen, burns cooler, and has a high resistance to knock. This provides more horsepower and torque than running conventional gasoline and is more readily available (in most states) and less expensive than race gas. Safeguards are included within the E85 ECU calibrations to adjust for ethanol as low as E60 to allow safe fill ups even if the ethanol content is lower than advertised. E85 is an optional fuel map included with all tune purchases.
Commonly used in roll racing, Brake Boosting allows you to build extra boost by applying brake pressure while accelerating. Release the brake pressure for a "rolling launch" or extra surge of power. Brake Boost is included on all tune stages.
Take full advantage of your supercharger with a larger power band. RPM limits have been raised to 7200RPM in all stages. This higher RPM limit not only extends the power band, but also unlocks 20+HP in the upper RPM range! Transmission TCU Tune is required to unlock higher RPM.
To combat power-robbing heat soak generated from the supercharged engine the factory coolant pump calibration has been modified in all ECU Tune stages. This new configuration runs the coolant pump at 50% duty when the ignition is keyed on pushing coolant through the charge coolers and reducing heat faster without the engine running. This helps avoid heat soak and provides faster recovery in-between runs or while staging at the track. During driving or when the intake temp is above 20C, the coolant pump operates at 100% for maximum cooling efficiency.
IE ECU calibrations are dedicated to perfecting every section of the mapping to deliver a fully realized performance file right out of the gate. Maximized for full performance potential on the drag strip and road course while maintaining full comfort on your daily commute.

NOTE: Tune compatibility is only for 3.0T CREC engines with 8 speed AL551 ZF8 transmission. Not compatible with Rest Of World (ROW) vehicles equipped with 7 speed DSG transmission. WHAT IS CREC? CREC is the engine code for the updated 3.0T Supercharged engines found in 2016-2018 Audi A6 & A7 chassis. The CREC variation includes numerous changes from the previous generations of the 3.0T platform including a dual direct and port injection fuel system, supercharger refinements, a new ECU, and many other changes. The easiest way to verify if you have a CREC engine is to check the upper supercharger pulley; CREC is equipped with a 4 bolt supercharger pulley where as all previous gen engines have a press-on pulley. Still not sure? Don't worry, our IE POWERlink cable will identify the correct tune for you car automatically.
Please read before ordering. Eurosport Performance does not carry live inventory on this site. Most products are ordered for you directly from the manufacturer or our suppliers, and we follow their lead times. Placing an order confirms you have read and accepted the availability terms below.
| In stock
Ships within 24 to 48 hours
Products marked in stock are on our shelves in Montreal and leave within one to two business days.
|
Ordered for you
Most orders ship in 5 to 7 business days
Everything else is ordered from the manufacturer or supplier when you order. Delays can occur; if they do, we contact you.
|
|
Supplier lead times apply
If a product is not listed as in stock here and is on backorder at the manufacturer, it will most likely be on backorder for us too. We will tell you as soon as we know.
|
We keep you informed
You receive a confirmation when the order is placed, a notice if a delay comes up, and tracking the moment it ships.
|
Only products explicitly marked in stock are on our shelves. For everything else, the fastest way to know the current lead time is to ask us before you order; we check with the supplier and reply with a date.
Confirmed means we have placed the order with the manufacturer or supplier on your behalf. Shipping follows once the part reaches us or ships directly to you, usually within 5 to 7 business days for products that are available at the source.
We tell you as soon as the supplier confirms it, with the expected date when they give one. You can keep the order open, switch to an alternative we suggest, or cancel for a full refund before the part ships.
Yes. Any order that has not shipped can be cancelled by contacting us, and the refund goes back to your original payment method. Please contact us rather than opening a dispute with your bank: a cancellation takes us minutes, a chargeback takes weeks and freezes the refund in the meantime.
Sometimes. Larger or special-order items can ship to you directly from the supplier to save days in transit. You still receive tracking from us either way.
Orders ship from Montreal or directly from our suppliers. For Canadian addresses the price you pay is the price, with no import or duty fees added on delivery. See our shipping policy for details.
You get an email with the tracking number the moment the label is created, and you can follow the order in your account on the site or in the SPECD app.
Want a lead time before you order? Email us or use the contact page with the product name and your vehicle, and we will confirm availability with the supplier.
Products are warrantied by their manufacturer. Eurosport Performance is an authorized reseller: every part we sell is covered by the manufacturer's own warranty, with its own terms and duration. Claims go through us, so you deal with Eurosport Performance rather than a form on the brand's site, but whether a claim is accepted is the manufacturer's decision.
|
Manufacturer terms apply
Duration and coverage are set by the brand and differ from one to the next: some cover one year, some a lifetime, some only the original purchaser. The brand's warranty page is the reference; ask us if you cannot find it.
|
We file the claim for you
Contact us with your order number, photos and a description of the issue. We open the claim with the manufacturer, follow it up, and arrange the repair, replacement or credit they approve. The manufacturer decides whether the claim is accepted.
|
|
Fitment guarantee: North America only
We guarantee fitment for vehicles sold in the North American market. Vehicles from other markets are out of scope; specifications differ, and it is the customer's responsibility to confirm compatibility before ordering.
|
No warranty on tuning files
ECU and TCU tunes and other software files are sold without warranty and are not returnable once delivered or flashed. Tuning can affect your vehicle's factory warranty; please read the brand's terms before purchasing.
|
|
Proof of purchase
Your Eurosport Performance order is the proof of purchase every manufacturer asks for. Keep the order confirmation; it is also in your account on the site and in the SPECD app.
|
What is usually not covered
Damage from improper installation, modification, abuse, racing or an incorrect application for the vehicle, and normal wear items such as pads, clutch discs and filters. Shipping and labour are covered only when the manufacturer's terms say so.
|
It is the manufacturer's warranty for that product. Where the brand publishes it, we note it in the description; otherwise contact us before ordering and we will confirm the exact terms with them.
Stop using it if it is a safety-related part, then contact us with your order number, clear photos, and when and how the issue appeared. Do not return anything until we confirm the claim; manufacturers often require an inspection or an authorization number first.
The manufacturer. We prepare and submit the claim, provide the proof of purchase and push for a fair outcome, but acceptance, replacement or credit is their call under their terms. We pass their decision on to you as soon as we have it.
It depends on the manufacturer. Simple cases are approved in days; claims that need the part inspected can take a few weeks. We keep you updated at each step and push when it drags.
No. Tuning files are software; once delivered or flashed they cannot be returned, and they carry no warranty from Eurosport Performance or, in most cases, from the tuner. Support for the tune itself (revisions, flashing questions) comes from the tuning brand under its own terms.
No. Our fitment guarantee covers vehicles sold in the North American market only. European, Japanese and other market vehicles can differ in engines, electronics and dimensions, and a part listed for the North American model is not guaranteed to fit. If you order for one of these vehicles, confirming compatibility is your responsibility, and fitment issues on such vehicles are not covered by returns or warranty.
Labour is not covered unless the manufacturer's terms specifically include it. Having the part installed by a qualified shop protects your claim: improper installation is the most common reason a manufacturer declines.
No. Returns cover unused parts you no longer want, under our refund policy. Warranty covers a part that fails in use, under the manufacturer's terms. If you are unsure which applies, contact us and we will point you to the right one; please do not open a bank dispute, as it pauses both processes.
Questions about coverage before you buy? Email us with the product and your vehicle and we will confirm the manufacturer's terms.
