Available through United Performance

Unlock the full potential of your Audi A6 or A7 C7.5 3.0T CREC with Jackal Motorsports’ industry-leading ECU and TCU calibration, developed specifically for the unique CREC supercharged platform. Whether you’re looking for sharper throttle response, smoother drivability, or big power gains on pump gas or E85, Jackal Motorsports delivers a tuning experience that goes far beyond the numbers.


Purpose-Built for the CREC Engine – Performance Without Compromise

Unlike generic flash files or outdated calibrations, Jackal’s CREC tune is specifically engineered to push the CREC 3.0T platform (2016–2018) to its full potential—safely, reliably, and consistently. With in-depth testing, real-world logging, and continuous refinement, this tune sets a new standard for the C7.5 A6 and A7.


Why Jackal? A Smarter, Safer, and Stronger CREC Tune

  • Supercharger Clutch Fully Locked: Jackal is the only tuner offering full SC clutch lockout, eliminating engagement/disengagement cycles that lead to clutch slip or failure—especially on upgraded pulley setups. This delivers more consistent boost and protects your hardware without compromising fuel economy.
  • Pump Gas or E85 Support: Calibrated for both 91/93 octane and E85. Choose the fuel that fits your driving style, and switch stages anytime—for free.
  • Incredible Value: Jackal offers one of the most powerful and refined CREC tunes on the market—at a price that beats nearly every competitor.
  • All Stages Included: Once you’re a Jackal customer, you’ll have access to all available stages. Start with Stage 1, then upgrade to Stage 2 or 2+ as your build progresses—without paying again.
  • ECU + TCU Included: Your purchase includes full tuning for both the engine and the transmission, ensuring a seamless and responsive driving experience.

Proven Performance Gains (Wheel Horsepower – Mustang Dyno)

All dyno data listed below was achieved using a bolt-on 57mm supercharger pulley and intake—without crank pulleys. Dual pulley setups produce even greater gains and are currently in testing.

Stage Fuel Power Gain Torque Gain
Stage 1 93 Octane +89 WHP +56 ft-lbs
Stage 1 E85 +127 WHP +67 ft-lbs
Stage 2 93 Octane +113 WHP +65 ft-lbs
Stage 2 E85 +140 WHP +89 ft-lbs
Stage 2+ 93 Octane +145 WHP +100 ft-lbs
Stage 2+ E85 Coming Soon In Final Testing

Note: These are uncorrected wheel horsepower figures, measured on a Mustang dyno, not inflated crank numbers.


Real-World Testing & Verified Results

Jackal Stage 2 and 2+ customers are achieving 0–60 mph times in the 3.1–3.3 second range, on full-weight cars with all-season tires. The upcoming Stage 2+ E45 ethanol file has already achieved a verified 3.13-second 0–60, making it the fastest known CREC A6/A7 with stock engine internals.


TCU Tuning – The Smoothest ZF8 Experience

Your transmission is just as important as your engine. That’s why Jackal includes full ZF8 TCU calibration with every tune. The result? Lightning-fast shifts, improved response, and better launch performance without sacrificing drivability.

ZF8 TCU Highlights:

  • Faster Upshifts & Downshifts
  • Progressive Launch Control (3,000–3,400 RPM)
  • Enhanced AMAX Shifting
  • Dragy Mode Supported
  • Manual Mode Improvements
  • Smoothed Daily Driving Behavior

Jackal’s ZF8 file has been widely praised as the smoothest and fastest available for the CREC platform.
