- 2017-2019 Audi Q7 4M 3.0TFSI CREC
Engine: 3.0TFSI Supercharged V6 CREC
Chassis: 4M
Transmission: ZF8 Automatic
Jackal Motorsports CREC-Specific Calibration
Jackal Motorsports developed its CREC calibration with the supercharger clutch fully locked. This eliminates the engaging and disengaging behavior of the factory supercharger clutch and helps eliminate the chugging sensation associated with the stock software and some other tuning solutions.
Locking the supercharger clutch also helps prevent supercharger clutch slip and failures that can occur when upgraded pulley ratios are installed. Jackal Motorsports has observed no difference in fuel economy with its locked supercharger clutch calibration.
Proven 4M Q7 Performance
Jackal Motorsports testing demonstrated a significant improvement in acceleration with the ECU and TCU calibration.
The stock Audi Q7 4M 3.0T achieved a 5.8-second 0-60 MPH time in testing. With the Jackal Motorsports Stage 1 ECU/TCU tune, the same vehicle achieved a 4.37-second 0-60 MPH time, representing an improvement of almost 1.5 seconds from tuning alone.
Performance Gains
Jackal Motorsports has established new baseline numbers using its Mustang AWD500XL dyno. The following figures represent tuned output and peak gains over stock.
Stage 1 93 Octane
- 440 HP / 380 ft-lbs
- Peak gains up to +106 HP / +33 ft-lbs
Stage 1 E85
- 526 HP / 443 ft-lbs
- Peak gains up to +184 HP / +95 ft-lbs
Stage 2 93 Octane
- 496 HP / 423 ft-lbs
- Peak gains up to +154 HP / +75 ft-lbs
Stage 2 E85
- 549 HP / 454 ft-lbs
- Peak gains up to +207 HP / +106 ft-lbs
Stage 2+ 93 Octane

Spark Plug Recommendation
Jackal Motorsports recommends NGK BKR9EIX spark plugs gapped to 0.026 inches for all staged 4M Q7 CREC files.
E85 and Fuel Flexibility
Jackal Motorsports offers tuning solutions for both pump gasoline and E85 fuel configurations. This gives Q7 owners the flexibility to select a calibration based on their preferred fuel and vehicle setup.
E85 applications require additional fueling considerations, with an MPI line upgrade strongly recommended for Stage 1 E85 and required for Stage 2 E85.
Upgraded Throttle Body Support
Jackal Motorsports offers upgraded throttle body maps for the CREC platform. These maps can be paired with the Jackal Motorsports TB Adapter Harness, eliminating the need for repinning.
034 throttle body applications require the Jackal Motorsports TB harness, which is available as an option during checkout.
IE and APR throttle body applications do not require repinning or an additional harness.
Auto Start/Stop Deactivation
Auto Start/Stop is disabled through Jackal Motorsports tuning on vehicles equipped with the factory system.
Free Stage Switching
Jackal Motorsports gives you the freedom to change your vehicle's calibration as your build evolves. Once you purchase a Jackal Motorsports tune and tuning cable, you can switch between stock and available staged calibrations for free.
There are no additional charges to switch between stages or return the vehicle to its stock calibration.
Remote and In-House Flashing
Jackal Motorsports offers both remote flashing with the Jackal Tuning Cable and in-house flashing. Remote flashing allows you to install and manage your tune from home, while full custom tuning support is also available for unique 4M Q7 CREC builds.
