Description
Unlock the full potential of your Audi 4.0TFSI with a Jackal Motorsports ECU & TCU Tune engineered specifically for the C7/C7.5 Audi S6, S7, RS7, A8, and S8 platforms. Jackal Motorsports combines extensive research and development, in-house dyno testing, real-world customer feedback, and street and track testing to develop calibrations focused on power, drivability, responsiveness, and reliability.
Jackal Motorsports' latest 4.0TFSI calibrations have been validated using an in-house Mustang AWD500XL dynamometer, establishing updated stock baselines and performance maps for cleaner and more consistent gains.
The updated Stage 1 93-octane calibration has demonstrated substantial performance improvements while retaining the vehicle's factory hardware configuration, with only a TGK intake used during testing.
Stage 1 Performance
The updated Jackal Stage 1 93-octane tune has achieved the following claimed gains:
- Peak wheel horsepower gain: +84 WHP
- Peak wheel torque gain: +169 ft-lbs
- Peak crank horsepower gain: +101 HP
- Peak crank torque gain: +205 ft-lbs
- Midrange gains: Over +140 HP and +200 ft-lbs
- Testing performed with a TGK intake; otherwise stock hardware
The strong midrange gains are designed to provide substantial, usable power throughout the driving range rather than focusing solely on peak dyno numbers.
Stage Options
Stage 1
Designed for stock vehicles or vehicles equipped with an aftermarket air intake.
Requirements:
- Stock hardware or aftermarket intake
Stage 2
Designed for vehicles equipped with supporting airflow and cooling modifications.
Requirements:
- Aftermarket intake

Custom Tuning
Jackal Motorsports also provides custom tuning support for more extensively modified 4.0TFSI vehicles. Custom applications can accommodate additional hardware and fueling modifications, including wastegate upgrades, larger-than-RS7 turbochargers, ethanol setups, and other performance configurations.
ECU & TCU Tuning Included
Jackal Motorsports provides the ECU and TCU calibration together as a package, allowing the engine and transmission software to work together for improved overall performance and drivability.
Depending on the vehicle application, the package includes the appropriate Jackal DSG or AL551 ECU/TCU tuning.
The TCU calibration is designed to provide:
- Smoother shifting and improved drivability
- Improved AMAX performance
- Lightning-fast upshifts
- Faster downshifts
- Improved launch behavior
- Improved throttle response
- Transmission calibration optimized to complement the ECU tune
Jackal Flashing Cable & Free Stage Switching
The Jackal tuning package includes the Jackal flashing cable, allowing customers to flash their vehicle remotely and switch between available calibrations.
Once purchased, customers can freely switch between the stock calibration and available Jackal stages without paying additional flashing or stage-switching fees.
You can purchase the tune once and upgrade to additional stages later without paying for the same tuning package twice.
Proven Development & Testing
Jackal Motorsports develops its 4.0TFSI calibrations through a combination of:
- In-house Mustang AWD500XL dyno testing
- Updated stock baselines
- Extensive research and development
- Real-world customer feedback
- Street testing
- Track testing
- Continuous calibration updates
This development approach allows Jackal Motorsports to focus on more than peak dyno numbers, with an emphasis on smooth power delivery, transmission behavior, throttle response, drivability, and consistent real-world performance.
