I am beyond pleased with the stage 1 tune! Throttle response and drivability are 10x better than stock. Shift logic feels much more natural. The added power is a nice bonus!
Absolutely fantastic tcu trans makes my zf8 shift lightning fast and super smooth and the ecu tune is fantastic car runs phenomenally tons of power and an absolute animal from a dig especially since the a7 weighs 4200lbs it's fantastic so glad I switched over to jackel and Matt is Absolutely ontop of it when it comes to customer response and answering any questions you might have definitely look forward to doing more business with jackel in the future 👍
Updated the B8.5 S4 from stock tune to stage one ECU and TCU for only driven a couple hundred miles currently, but the biggest change is the feel of the transmission shifts and how much smoother they are. The powerband feels great when driving around town and its much easier getting onto the highway too. Would recommend to anyone for a good wake up from stock and look forward to future with the car and what more can come out of it with more updates.
That’s exactly what my A6 was missing.
Previous car was B8.5 S4 on stage2 single pulley from 034. Nothing wrong with. Sometimes even scared)).
But Jackal tune… I’m going in 👍🏻
Thanks Matt for great job!!!
Very satisfied with the tune and customer service would recommend highly
Kit came quickly and well packaged
Overall everything feels great. Pulls hard even top end. Had a stage 2+ 15 s4 and it didn’t feel like it pulled this hard top end. 1100 miles in on this tune so far. Also gas mpg is still great
Great product, recieved exactly as i expected
Great kit, saved me some money on buying individuals through a dealer. The Tstat is awesome
Very nice and aesthetic badge and it looks awesome on the car! 100% recommend.
the stage 1 tune is pretty good I can feel the power difference only thing I don't really like is the fans Turing on to the max when I idle it kinda gets annoying and I wish there was like a guide or something similar explaing what exactly the tune has but other than those two I really enjoy the tune
GIllian,
That is fan support, simply pull your cruise control stalk towards you and that fuction is OFF.
Cruise control in OFF position (towards the dash) fan support is ON (fans on high under 5MPH)
Cruise control in ON position (towards you) fan support is OFF
100% worth it, this tune really wakes up the car. Matt is amazing to deal with, fast to respond and went the extra mile to help me get set up. Don't waste your time going anywhere else.
Feels Great Way more power delivery each gear, just keeps eating every shift. Very excited to go 2+ with no extra charge !
I loaded stage 1, big change of this beast. Transmission changes alone are worth the upgrade, no more 6th gear at 40mph. Shifts slightly more aggressive, not slamming into gear, just firm. It was already a pretty quick car for the size, much better passing with the tune. I recommend it!
This tune completely changed the driving characteristics of my car in S mode. The car bangs off shifts, front ends lifts up whenever I floor it, and just a more pleasant driving experience when I'm driving normally due to the lack of SC clutch engagement/disengangement. Would give this tune 10/5 if I could! Looking forward to switching over to the Iridium Spark plugs!
I havent tried any other company so i cant speak for them but if you are on the fence about going stage 1 or picking who i can guarantee that jackal motorsports is amazing. Just flashed my a6 and my brothers s4 both feel amazing difference is night and day when it comes to power. And the biggest thing is it makes the transmission on both the zf8 and dsg feel like butter before the dsg had a clank going into first and the zf8 felt sluggish all around now they are both crisp and smooth.
Jackal motorsports is the way to go!
