    You have the guy who Literally has the fastest B8 S5 time of 9.9 on nitrous listed at 10.8. Nate Prater. Bro, your list is all Jacked up. Might as well throw it in the trash.

    Okay babe you don't have to act tough in front of your friend group.
    I will look at older file versions to identify when the names got all mixed up.
    Really though, thanks for pointing it out.
    I typed many of the times by hand and pasted in some from other spreadsheets while having beers.
    It's obvious that at some point i misaligned some columns/rows.
    You know at the end of the day we can all appreciate having more data to crunch.
    Many of these times were not previously listed on any spreadsheet at all.
    I myself haven't purchased a dragy yet so don't have access to that convenient leaderboard for my own interests.
    Part of my goal really is to see where all the tuners stand in relation to eachother.
    There was scarce data on stage 1 cars and a6/a7's which is really my main interest.
    I don't ever want to play with dual pulley ratios or ethanol myself personally.

    edit:if anyone wants to talk smack my dms are open i wont get offended. I'm not trying to deviate this thread from the topic of jackal tunes, which I do also want data for my own personal curiosity.

    Maybe you should see yourself out of this Jackal thread. I would have been suspended by now if I derailed a thread as bad as you.

    Anyway, to keep this thread on topic, I got a new personal best 60-130 in Mexico today. Getting your 60-130 BEFORE your 1/4 mile is over is always fun.

    Running solid mid 7’s with a very conservative ported blower ratio. Most guys running higher ratios don’t even see mid 7’s.

    I think I have over a dozen 7 second runs now and took the number 2 3.0T S4 spot on Dragy Leaderboard. Just keeps getting better and better and it’s not even cold yet

    I went with Jackal after watching the 034 video. A good company doesn't need to bash another company if their own stuff is superior they will let their equipment/software etc speak for themselves. They also said that they waited for others to come out and say something but it never did so they finally said they would do it. I have yet to see anyones engine blow up with Jackal and my friend has been running it now forever, I have been running it for 2 months now and not 1 issue. Plus their customer service you can't beat, it seems like it doesn't matter the time of the day if you email them Matt replies within a couple of hours which means he cares about the products and his customers just like Tony said earlier. I think 034 was starting to lose a lot of customers (Due to Jackal offering their customers free changing between stages after purchasing the tune and tuning cable plus also including the TCU tune plus superior customer service) so they did whatever they could to discredit other companies to try stop the loss of customers to a rival business.

    In September of 2024 when I made the full transition from APR to Jackal, there were no B8/B8.5 engine failures that have been reported running Jackal software. So they must be doing something right.

    If you look at some of the other competitors, there's 1 that sticks out like a sore thumb as far as blown motors, and I bet there are many cars running out there that have not let go as of yet, but are going to either 1- have catastrophic failure and break, or 2- manage to not blow up but be a shit show when it comes time to have their engines freshened (the pistons, rings, and bores are going to be a horror show from lean conditions over time).

    I have been around the car game long enough that the first car I modded was an 86 mustang svo. Many many tuners desensitize the knock system. Let’s just let the results speak for themselves. Jackal has barely a fraction of the tunes running on this platform compared to 034. As more and more use their tune it will show if their methods are a problem or not. Only time will tell. You also need to understand that sometimes when you push things shit just breaks it doesn’t necessarily mean it was the tune. You just need to wait and watch and establish a pattern before you say a tune is dangerously calibrated.


    With that said a company should always be transparent on the changes they make. For instance say some safety systems are altered to prevent unnecessary interference due to increased engine noise and or exhaust temperatures.

    Bottom line nobody really knows if it’s an issue yet so lighten up and just sit back and watch.

    Jackal has far more cars tuned than people think/know, That’s for sure

    1000+ whp turbo V8, another 800whp one. Twin turbo R8’s.

    Just the sheer punishment my own car has gone through in the last 30 days should be enough to put anybody’s mind at ease about Jackal’s software. Nevermind the rest of the year I’ve been pushing the car on their tune.

    People can watch us all they want. Just keep watching us all succeed. Other tuner’s customers have blown up their cars trying to just run one 7 second 60-130. Mine just does it basically all the time on E40 and occasionally does it on 93 and meth too.

    Hell, I hit 7’s on the stock blower a couple times

    I read in the 4M CREC thread that there is a mobile flasher from Jackal in the works that was supposed to be coming out some time this year, but I cant find anything else on it does any one have any updates or info on that?

    Jackal Motorsports customer/discussion thread - B8/B8.5

    Jackal has multiple stock blower S4’s running mid 10’s with very basic setups, a bench mark that the other tuners have trouble reaching with ported blowers. And we aren’t blowing up. A Jackal tuned stock blower S4 hit the 10.5 mark on E45 just this morning And It’s valid. No slamming on the brakes and glitching out the dragy like some other clown posted. No glitched out 240 mph trap speed on one screen shot and a 117 MPH trap speed on another. A real 10.5 run, run out to 1320 feet.

    Enough said. Less money, more power, better customer service and reliable.

    If some of you can’t see the reality you’re brainwashed.

    I switched to Jackal because everyone said I should try another tuner. Matt wanted to see what I would do on their tune since I could already run 10’s with APR. I was happy to do so. I had done everything I said I would do with APR so I had no reason not to. I paid for my APR BTW.

    Maybe instead of focusing on what people want me to do or offer me, maybe you should focus on doing something worth paying attention to.

    You would probably be shocked by the amount of offers I’ve had from vendors wanting me to demo their stuff. And I’m a nobody on social media.

    It seems that the people who actually matter in this industry pay attention and like what I do so what makes you think your opinion of me actually matters to me?

    Bro, you need a hobby.

    Hopefully joining jackal as soon as I'm confident my engine rebuild isn't going to die 😅

    Jackal Motorsports customer/discussion thread - B8/B8.5

    The fact that anyone wants to argue about safety with a guy who has 50+ 10 second passes in a 6-7 month period is absurd to me. And quite a few of them are on the stock blower…..

    If anyone was going to have a failure it would be me. Yet the worst thing that has happened is a few popped intercooler bricks which can happen to anyone and my stock cats finally let go which we all knew was bound to happen eventually to a 10 second S4.

    You guys seriously need to realize that 034 put out that video for their own gain and they accuse Jackal of doing things they thought were just fine for almost a decade. They literally said in the video that Jackal’s tune looks very similar to one of their own past revisions. They said this….

    54 10 second passes this year and you want to talk to me about what is safe and what’s not?

    This Jackal tune just keeps getting better and better. New personal best 60 foot and 0-60 today. This tune should be illegal. Are you guys getting sick of all this awesomeness yet?

    Do you run regular Z rated radial tires?

    Our cars are pretty respectable suspension wise and being awd getting out of the hole, I've always wondered about using 4 serious drag radials and maybe some more drag friendly suspension. I think with some tweaks a car running high 10s can knock off .20-.30 seconds in the 60 foot with a few properly executed changes in the tires and suspension.

    Street tires are basically useless now. I couldn’t launch properly on a PS4S with my 19’s on my E45 tune and get a good time if there was a gun to my head.

    I could launch on the lowest launch setting and get off the line without spinning too bad but it wouldn’t be fast. I have to run Hoosiers now to get good times. And sometimes I spin those too.

    My suspension is bone stock and my engine mounts are stock too. I do have the 034 transmission mount though. I agree that a lot can be done with suspension tuning and I could definitely benefit from some stiffer rear shocks.

    Hey, does anyone know if there is anyway to switch the units of measurement in the Jackal logger? Mine is currently displaying hpa, Kmh, C, ETC. and my small American brain doesn't know what any of that means lol, any info is appreciated thanks!

    I don't believe they did it for the reasons you mentioned. They have lost far more customers to IE and APR over the years and never came out and attacked them in any way.

    I think it was more because a big explosion of hype happened and everyone started talking about how jackal was superior to 034. 034 just felt they should inform the community of the false information jackal had stated. Jackal stated they do not alter any safety systems put in place to protect the engine. This was clearly shown to be false especially with the catalyst temp. It was completely turned off. 034 just simply showed that jackal is not playing by the same rules and of course if you alter these systems to not get in the way then of course you can get better performance.

    Jackal is just willing to gamble a little more with the powertrain safety. Jackal is relying on their tuning ability to keep your engine safe when 034 feels they should rely on the factory systems in place. 034 even stated that if jackal had simply informed buyers of the alterations of safety systems the video would have never been made in the first place. It's quite simple. People would have known immediately why and how jackal was a little faster.

    I'm not defending 034 or attacking jackal. Different tuning methods is all it is. 034 just felt people should have been made aware.

    Nillious, respectfully, I don't think this is entirely accurate based on when my car was tuned by Jackal.

    Ive been a part of tuning my car with Jackal with my mechanic/tuner and Matt personally and my mechanic asked a million questions about what was deactivated and minimized from the factory Audi parameters and what wasn't

    If you wouldn't mind sharing what you're saying is turned off/manipulated in a jackal tune, I would comment as to what Matt and my mechanic discussed. My mechanic is very experienced with tuning, especially with Audi RS and S cars, BMW B58/Toyota Supra, BMW S58 and other BMW M cars, Nissan GTR and many other 90's and 2000s performance cars. He specifically went over and was insistent on keeping the factory safety nets in the Audi tune intact. It was a 40-60 min convo just about safety items, fueling, timing, boost in the tune on my S4 and my guy has since become a Jackal dealer and only sold the Jackal products since my car was done. So that says a lot.

    I'm curious now if you wouldn't mind sharing your input/facts/opinions.

    I not a tuner so if this is false and incorrect I encourage jackal to correct what they stated. Again just going off what 034 shows. Matt can clear this up if it is not so. This to me is the biggest safety factor knowing the catalyst issues with these cars.

    My understanding is they don't turn anything off they just desensitize settings due to more power making more sounds that are louder which can trigger the knock sensor(which is my take on what i think it was Tony that said that) and tell me one tuning company that doesn't do that. I can't speak for Matt but I don't think he purposely lied i just think he was saying that they don't do anything that the others don't do it just got worded wrong. I think we have all said something at some point and gone ohh shit I can't believe I said that that's not what I meant. Especially when someone that has a busy life and can still find time to reply to possible tens maybe hundreds of messages emails every day.
    I dont even know either of them personally but it's just my observation how I see them interact in Facebook groups that makes me think they care about what they do and making sure our cars are safely tuned.

    The knock sensitivity is not what I was referring to and doesn't concern me as much as the cat protection. I'm sure all tuners modify the knock tables to there own beliefs of what is noise and what is knock. I can only know what the video shows and it says the cat protection is essentially disabled. Maybe jackal can clarify what this means.

    I think 034 is butthurt that Jackals tune is faster and has no failures so they take to youtube and make a 2 hour long video to try and discredit Jackal/Matt. Nobody on here has the hardware or software to look at what they are looking at (034) so who is going to question their claims?

    All I know is that I've never heard of a single Jackal engine failure at all in my time connected to the B8-8.5 community, and I've had 4 different software/ECU remaps in my cars over the years..... Jackal is by far the fastest and smoothest of all of them.
    034 has had MANY publicized engine failures, so if they are that good at reading these files and making the cars run so well with all the parameters in place, why are they the only tuner that you hear of cars blowing up from? It sounds to me that they are jealous that this small not very established tuning company is kicking their ass and is faster. has less issues with the cars, and is just plain better with better customer service than they are after they spent millions of dollars on their tuning platform.

    So instead of being men and making things better and competing the old fashioned way, they would rather cry like a bunch of Cu*ts on the internet and post lies in videos rather than putting in the effort to be better.

    034 you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

    Supposedly they were supposed to have a solution a couple weeks back. I’m sure that they’re working on it but, man, can’t even enjoy others’ arguments in peace!

    I have run Jackal with APR's TCU and it worked ok. Not great but ok. You really should run the proper pair so the ECU and TCU shift points are set up right.

    I was on the fence about moving to a a C7.5 A6 but I have since figured out my knock retard issue and just did check valves and pcv so start up rattle is pretty much gone so I've decided to keep it until it does.

    If I'm keeping it I think I'm going to move to a different tune. I just cannot stand the way the car feels with the throttle settings. Many have reported how smooth the jackal tune is and I will be going 190 lower with test pipes this summer with hfc down stream. From all the videos I see the jackal tcu still has the rpm wobble on shifts so wanted to keep the tcu if it works ok with the tune. I guess I'll have to see. If it doesn't work out they do have the return window from what I've seen.

    Shift wobble has been gone for a long time. Just search my posts on Facebook groups for video. Mine has never shifted smoother and it's faster than it's ever been.

    Audizine is pretty dead honestly.

    All the good info seems to be on Facebook now, which kinda sucks.

    But I did read recently that Jackal had a bunch of updates and the feedback is very positive as far as refinement and improved shift feel.

    They even offer "non fart" DSG shifting with ESP/TC off.
    (AMAX all the time vs using Launch Control is my understanding)

    The hit piece by 034 aside Jackal seems to be delivering some great improvements!
    15' Sepang Blue S4, Prestige, DSG, Black Optics, Nappa, Sport diff, Adaptive suspension, Carbon Atlas, SC badges.
    I've added: 30% ceramic tint, Vled's 5K fogs and reverse bulbs, Osram CBN HID bulbs, Jackal Motorsports Stage 1 with DSG tune (NGK BKR8EIX plugs @ .026"), APR Carbon Fiber intake and tube, CR-15 brace, EuroCode Alu Kruez and DSG insert.

    This was actually a very few amount of cars to begin with, and is now fully mitigated for those older DSGs that had issues.

    This has been an informative thread. I plan to switch to Jackal from IE, but I'm getting p0420,p0430 cat codes now, so I need to get those replaced first.
    IE Stage 2 Dual Pulley, APR HX, APR 187 and 57mm pulleys, Milltek Resonated Exhaust, Deval CF Diffuser, 034 Lowering Springs, 034 Rear Sway Bar, Eurocode AK.

    Matt, do you have any plans for wireless tuning or map switch ability without the use of a laptop?
