So far both tunes are amazing, the power is smooth and trans is way more responsive. Definitely wish each had more of a description of what it is and maybe in the future COD shut off.
Really enjoying the stage 1 tune can’t wait to go up on stages
Bottom line – the Jackal tune is an absolute bang-for-buck. The value you get out of this tune is seriously impressive, especially considering how reliable it’s been since day one. Power delivery is smooth, the car pulls hard, and drivability remains rock solid. It’s clear Jackal has put serious time into refining this.
That said, there are a few minor limitations when it comes to customization. You don’t have control over things like burble intensity, on/off toggle for burbles, launch RPM, or shift point behavior. Also, besides a single reference image, there aren’t detailed power estimates per file, which would be helpful for those comparing stages or looking for benchmarks.
But despite those small drawbacks, it’s honestly a great tune overall. If you’re after something reliable, well-tested, and fun, without breaking the bank – Jackal delivers. I’m happy with it, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a no-BS performance upgrade.
Matt is quick to respond and will take good care of you
Matt and Jackal Motorsports have put together an amazing product. It amazes me that they were able to improve the comfort and performance/drivability in my D4. 1st gear shifts to 2nd are as smooth as butter now after the TCU flash. I’m currently running stage 1 91 octane and I can either drive the car nicely and get 25-30mpg or I can drive aggressively and gap a large % of cars on the road. All in all, Audi should’ve sold the car in the way that the Jackal tune has made it perform. YouTube video coming soon. @McCulloughSim
