Jackal Motorsports Stage 2 ECU Tune
Jackal Motorsports Stage 2 ECU software is designed to substantially increase horsepower and torque while maintaining OEM catalytic converter compatibility. Stage 2 tuning delivers up to +87 WHP and +122 ft-lbs over stock, measured at the wheels.
Stage 2 requires an aftermarket intake and turbo elbow/inlet. An upgraded intercooler and high-flow catted downpipe are recommended to support the increased performance and maintain consistent operation.
OEM CAT Safe Stage 2 Calibration
Jackal Motorsports Stage 2 software is designed to remain OEM catalytic converter safe while increasing engine performance. The calibration is developed to deliver additional power and torque without requiring the use of a catless exhaust configuration.
Jackal Motorsports Stage 2+ ECU Tune
For customers looking for additional performance, Jackal Motorsports Stage 2+ builds upon the Stage 2 calibration and supports additional hardware upgrades.
Stage 2+ requires an upgraded intercooler, aftermarket intake and turbo elbow/inlet, along with an upgraded HPFP (High-Pressure Fuel Pump). Stage 2+ provides an additional 15-20 WHP over the Stage 2 setup.
Jackal Motorsports DSG Tune
The Jackal Motorsports DSG calibration is designed to complement the ECU tune with optimized transmission behavior in both D and Sport modes.
The DSG software reduces unnecessary gear hunting while providing faster, sharper shifts, increased clutch pressures, and optimized shift points to help keep the engine within its ideal powerband.
Launch Control
Jackal Motorsports provides a precisely calibrated 3,300 RPM launch control designed to deliver consistent launches and improved acceleration from a standstill.
In-House and Remote Tuning
Jackal Motorsports offers both in-house tuning and remote tuning using the Jackal Tuning Cable. The cable allows customers to flash between available stages or return the vehicle to the stock calibration whenever needed.
Jackal Motorsports provides free switching between stages and stock, allowing customers to upgrade their setup over time without paying additional flashing fees.
Proven Performance
Jackal Motorsports Stage 2 tunes have consistently produced 11.6-11.7 second quarter-mile times on 93 octane, with full-weight vehicles running street tires.
These results demonstrate the performance potential of the Jackal Motorsports 8V 2.0TFSI tuning platform without requiring a stripped-down drag setup.
