Fitment
2010-2015 Audi B8 RS5 4.2L FSI V8
Designed specifically for the Audi B8 RS5 with the 4.2L FSI naturally aspirated V8 engine.
The tuning supports stock and modified B8 RS5 applications, including vehicles equipped with drop-in air filters, aftermarket intakes, headers, lightweight flywheels, and forced-induction systems.
Important ECU Software Version Notice
If your Audi RS5 was recently taken to an Audi dealership for a recall and received software version S0007, the ECU currently cannot be flashed remotely.
Vehicles running software version S0007 must have the ECU sent to Jackal Motorsports for bench service to revert the ECU to an earlier software version before remote flashing can be performed.
Jackal Motorsports offers this ECU unlock/bench service when purchasing a tune.
Please be aware of the S0007 software restriction before ordering.
Jackal Motorsports ECU Tuning
Jackal Motorsports ECU tuning is designed to provide strong, consistent performance gains throughout the RPM range while maintaining refined drivability. Rather than relying on advertised numbers that may vary significantly between vehicles, Jackal Motorsports focuses on real-world horsepower and acceleration performance.
The calibration can be tailored to your vehicle's modifications, allowing the tune to accommodate anything from a relatively stock RS5 with drop-in filters to extensively modified vehicles with headers, flywheel upgrades, intake modifications, or forced induction.
For boosted RS5 applications, Jackal Motorsports also provides custom tuning designed around the specific hardware and requirements of the vehicle.
Modification-Specific Tuning
Jackal Motorsports tuning can be adapted to different B8 RS5 configurations, including:
- Stock RS5 configurations
- Drop-in air filters
- Aftermarket intake systems
- Header-equipped vehicles
- Lightweight flywheel setups
- Additional engine and performance modifications
- Forced-induction applications
- Custom-built RS5 setups
This approach allows the ECU calibration to work with the hardware installed on your vehicle instead of relying on a generic file.
