Tuning guide for ea888 is38 platform
We have done extensive research and development on the VAG EA888 engine over the past 10 years, on all 3 turbo variants found across the the entire VAG range in form of IS12, IS20 & IS38. Our inhouse development has allowed us to produce some of the market leading calibration across all software variants commonly found on this platform. Both the 1.8 TSI & 2.0 TSI newer generations of engines are the successor of the EA113. Housing a completely different strategy of tuning now moving on from the simple BOSCH MED9 control unit to the more complex Siemens Simos18.

Here we show a great example of stage 1 & 2 taking place on a very healthy example of the EA888 TSI IS38 variant engine. This was an excellent example of a MK7 Golf R brought to us from stock and covering over various hardware and tuning stages. The graph defines what we have achieved within stages 1 & 2.

Stage 1 Calibration:
372BHP & 374Ftlb (507NM)

Please note we have run stage 1 & 2 calibrations on these engines on stock clutch with zero slip. Please use your own discretion on the condition of your clutch prior to tuning. A stock clutch in healthy condition will be fine for both stages of tuning but will eventually need replacing for stage 2 calibrations depending on your driving style.
