- OVERVIEW
- TECHNICAL & SUPPORT
AUDI 3.0T ZF8 AL551 TRANSMISSION TUNE
PERFORMANCE MATCHED
IE's record breaking 3.0T ECU Tunes are fully realized performance calibrations that deliver unmatched power figures. Without a matching TCU tune, the transmission will short shift the powerband at 6300RPM vs the tune's peak power at 7200RPM -leaving power on the table. Furthermore, the TCU upgrade modifies shift speed, torque limit maps, line pressure, and launch control functions, to fully match your ECU calibration. As a result, horsepower and torque levels are raised and acceleration is greatly improved to create a complete ECU & TCU performance package.
LEADING FEATURES
- Performance matched calibration for all IE 3.0T ECU tunes
- Refined drive for the automotive enthusiast
- Higher 7200RPM shift limit
- Increases torque limits
- Lightning-fast shift times
- Engagement lag reduced
- Removed manual shift delay
- Line pressure increased to protect against trans slip
- Variable launch control for dialed-in launches
- Direct port OBDII at-home flashing
Stage 1 or higher ECU Tune is required to run this transmission tune.
VARIABLE LAUNCH CONTROL
The IE ZF8 AL551 TCU Tune includes a variable launch control to deliver chest pounding launches from a stop. 3 different launch RPMs (street, aggressive, or race) are included to dial in the fastest launch for your vehicle and tire setup. With the optimized launch mode set in your TCU, you can launch to the moon knowing your tires will put down the maximum power needed for the fastest launch.
ONE TUNE FOR ALL STAGES
IE’s ZF8 AL551 TCU tune is all-inclusive without any unnecessary upgrades or additional charges for future ECU Tune upgrades. All features and optimizations are included for any level of hardware or performance stage, one cost and you are covered for all and any future upgrades.
EASY INSTALL FROM HOME
IE's POWERlink Cable and Flash Wizard software gives you the freedom to quickly flash your new IE ECU or TCU Tune. Simply plug your POWERlink into the vehicle's OBD-2 port and follow the on-screen directions, it's that easy!
If you are purchasing along with an IE ECU Tune, you do not need to purchase two POWERlink cables. One cable can flash both your ECU and TCU tunes.
RELIABILITY TESTING
IE's fully proven transmission software allows the full performance experience from your supercharged 3.0T engine while retaining factory comfort and reliability. IE's own tuning technology suite is used to completely reverse-engineer the factory transmission mapping, allowing our software engineers access to realign all safety protocols for the new TCU calibration. Every tune parameter undergoes months of testing on our in-house dyno systems to verify all correct conditions for peak power delivery and reliability. All driving behavioral maps undergo thousands of miles of testing and a variety of users were polled to develop the ideal driving behavior.
REFINED DRIVE
The factory transmission calibration has many performance short comings leaving much to be desired by the enthusiast driver. IE software engineers have completely reworked the transmission tune computer with performance driving in mind. This new calibration is much more refined, removes the factory "clunky" feeling, and completely transforms the feel of your supercharged Audi in every driving scenario.
TORQUE LIMITER RAISED
ECU Tuning and pulley upgrades unlock huge power gains from the 3.0T supercharged engines. Increasing the torque limits and line pressure mapping allows for the transmission to hold power increases without causing transmission slip or expedited wear.
ENGAGMENT LAG REDUCED
The transmission engagement has been reworked to reduce annoying lag when shifting from park or reverse into drive. This feature is most noticeable in daily driving scenarios and makes your every day commute much more enjoyable.

The higher 7200RPM shift limit requires an IE ECU Tune with a higher RPM limit (IE file is 7450RPM). If you are using a non-IE brand ECU Tune, make sure your tuner raises the ECU RPM limit above 7200RPM to be compatible before installing this TCU tune file.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
TUNE UPDATES: Your tune purchase entitles you to free updates to any tune revisions, new octanes, standard features, or software updates. In the event the original vehicle manufacturer issues an ECU update, this will also be included to you through IE at no additional charge.
POWERLINK VINS: Have multiple cars in the family or friends that are also ready for an IE Tune? Your POWERlink Flash Tool can be used on up to 5 different vehicle VINs. Tunes sold separately.
TUNE REGISTRATION: 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. Tunes can be transferred to a second party in the event of vehicle transfer of ownership only.

Survived my dog… which almost nothing does!
Size: Medium, Color: Watermelon, Size: Medium, Color: Watermelon
I have a pit mix who is an expert-level destroyer of squeaky toys. Most “durable” toys last her maybe 5–15 minutes before the squeaker is gone.
This one lasted a full HOUR of play (constant squeaking, chewing, and trying to find a weak spot) and she still didn’t manage to break it. That’s honestly unheard of for her.
What I like:
The flat shape makes it hard for her to get a good “kill grip”
The squeaker isn’t easy to isolate and destroy
It keeps her engaged instead of just ripping it open immediately
She actually spent a lot of time just booping it with her nose to make it squeak, which she loves.
I ended up putting it away before she could eventually destroy it, and I’ll be rotating it to make it last longer. It’s now a high-value toy in our house.
If you have a dog that destroys every squeaky toy in minutes, this is absolutely worth trying. I’m already planning to buy more from this line.

Not for aggressive chewers
Size: Medium, Color: Carrot
This product is pretty strong, but my dog tore it apart in 5 minutes. The size is great, and my dog loved tearing it apart. I wish it lasted longer.

Recommended by my chihuahua puppy!
Size: Small, Color: Waffle, Size: Small, Color: Waffle
This has been a fantastic toy for my chihuahua puppy. She actually carries it around by the tag and loves rolling it over with her nose. It's a little big for her, but she still really enjoys it.
The tough edges are perfect for her little tiny shark teeth. I think she'll like this one even more as she begins teething.
It's obviously an adorable toy and it has held up really well so far. It does have a loud squeaker if that's something your dog likes or dislikes. Mine doesn't have the jaw strength or size to squeak it, but she likes it when I do it.
Considering what I paid and the many low quality toys on the market, this thing is a great value. Highly recommend it for toy and small breed dogs and puppies!

Tough Versatile Interactive & Chew Toy
Size: Medium, Color: Strawberry
Update: the Snake is the absolute best in terms of entertainment value. Provides tugging opportunities and our dog is obsessed with it. Love these toys.
This is quite literally one of the only toys we can leave with our puppy as both an interactive and self-play chew toy. Our small puppy (<20lbs) destroys every plush and latex toy in minutes. Has no interest in playing alone with durable toys like Kong and gets bored of them if we don’t play with them interactively. This satisfies our dog’s needs to chew on toys and keeps her entertained when we want a break but also quickly becomes a beloved interactive toy we can play fetch with. Yes, eventually our doggo destroys it as expected since we are using to both as a chew and interactive toy but it takes quite a while and we are very satisfied and impressed. This one stands the test of time.
