Swapped from 034 Stg 2 E85 and couldn't be happier. The TCU tune is flawless, no low speed jerking and awkward shifts. When WOT it shifts like a dream and keeps you in the powerband perfectly.
Jackal doesn't go up to E85 like other tuners but don't let that scare you, the E40 blend kicks ass and It definitely feels faster. Due to the TCU tune being so well implemented I feel this is much more daily-able than the other options available as you almost forget the ZF8's downfalls.
The overall tuning experience is pretty simple, though I am waiting for mobile support as I don't own a laptop and have to borrow one.
Without a doubt the best part of this tune is the people behind it, no other company will give you feedback and help in as timely of a manner as Jackal nor will they be as willing to make changes to your tune to make it custom like Jackal does often. The community is also pretty friendly and helpful.
After changing my oil with this Rowe kit, i definitely noticed my engine running smoother than before. Jackal had great shipping as well, and I love their support for the CREC 3.0T unlike other brands
The cable arived quickly, the tune is fire the car is running great and matt responds very quickly on email. Definetely recommend and will tune my other car also.
Decided to pull the plug and get the stage 1 TCU/ECU tune and its crazy how different the car feels. LC launches are down by nearly a second on 91 octane alone and mid throttle pulls will quickly net you in suspicious speeds if you're not careful. The best part is that fuel economy seems to have not been hit at all, making this luxury barge a nasty sleeper.
Matt helped me every step of the way. From how to send in my ECU to get rest, to ordering, and taking the time out to answer emails/texts with a lightning fast response. No other tuner offered to help with resetting my ECU after this latest update and the tune was affordable compared to the other competitors. Also the tune on my RS5 is amazing. The power band, shifting, and acceleration is on a whole other level now. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it to everyone. Five stars is not enough to say about this company. Keep up the great work!
Perfect fit, and performance. This is how the cat should have left the factory.
My 2016 S7 feels much better, especially transmission is smoother and have no feel when comes to stop to downshift to 1st gear. Launch control can be customized on 3300rpm and 3600rpm if I am not mistaking. Set mine on 3300 and when car starts literally first 3 gears you have feels like it want to go on rear wheels. Definitely recomandation for all who want better performance, reliability and save money. Jackal is very responsive on emails and it will do what ever it takes to satisfy customer and their needs for tune. 10/10
I emailed Matt with questions about problems I was having with my car outside of business hours (Sunday night) and he replied and answered my questions before I was a customer of Jackal. The fact that he answered my questions before I had even purchased anything goes to show what kind of company Jackal is. He helped me get my car running right and that’s when I knew I would be shopping with Jackal. I bought their CREC mpi upgraded fuel line and stage1 tune. Now my car is running better than ever! The tune is exactly how they advertise. Smooth and fast shifting which is great and smooth but aggressive power band that throws you back in your seat. I’m very impressed and highly recommend Jackal.
The cable delivers a sauce unmatched by any competitor in the industry. 100% recommend
this Pump works good and the Help from Jackal motorsports was good Thank You, for my Audi S4 B8 2011 👍
The tune was easy to install and it has been amazing great power and transmission runs really smooth. Love it and would recommend it to any Audi owner.
The Jackal tune and more importantly their customer service is second to none. It really wakes up the car and raises the level of performance to a much higher level. Where once I would park my car and walk into my house I now find myself sitting by the window daydreaming about my next drive!!!
Just tuned my Q7 with stage 1 and its amazing, also have my s4 on stage 2+ and thats been amazing and solid.. if your looking for a tune just go with the best... hands down easiest decision I ever made, and customer service is unmatched.. they are the best all around.. purchase with ease and enjoy life after that !!
I am very pleased with the customer service and the performance.
I’ve been a loyal APR customer for well
Over ten years with both my A3s, A4s and currently my 2016 S5 and 2016 Q5 3.0T. I’ve never had a hickup with my APR tunes but after reading so many reviews about jackal and me being disappointed at the track with my stage 1 tuned Q5 ( 13.4) and stage 1 S5 ( 12.5) . I finally made the switch to jackal and since both have been tuned with stage one I can literally tell the he difference.
Tunes seem to pull way harder on both vehicles. So far I’m happy and hopefully I’ll be happier when I test both at the track. I’m so happy with my S5 jackal
Stage one tune I already ordered the parts for the stage 2+ tune but will definitely test out stage 1 at the track before I swap to the stage 2 software. Stay tuned! ……
This is my third tune from jackal and these guys don’t disappoint. After driving my wife’s Q7 on a road trip I found it was lacking that little something extra. Flashed the stage 1 tune and it’s transformed it totally. Shifting is 100% better, power delivery smoother, easier passing, all in all it’s a different car now. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend again. Now I just need that 57mm pulley and I’m done!
