JACKAL MOTORSPORTS 8V RS3 / 8S TTRS DAZA ECU & TCU TUNING
The Audi DAZA 2.5T found in the 8V RS3 and 8S TTRS is one of the most impressive performance platforms Audi has ever produced. While big horsepower numbers are easy to advertise, our philosophy has always been that a truly great calibration is one that feels just as good driving to work as it does making a full-throttle pull.
At Jackal Motorsports, we don't simply chase dyno numbers. We spend countless hours refining every aspect of the driving experience to create a calibration that delivers exceptional power while maintaining smooth, predictable, and enjoyable operation in every situation.
Every file we release is the result of extensive dyno testing, street validation, data analysis, and continuous refinement. The end result is a vehicle that feels factory-engineered, not simply modified.
Power Gains
Stage 1 - Up to +114 HP / 154 FT-LBS
A massive increase in performance while maintaining the smooth drivability and responsiveness expected from a daily-driven RS3 or TTRS. Can be installed on a completely stock vehicle, or lightly modified.
Stage 2 -Up to +135HP / 200FT-LBS
Unlock the next level of DAZA performance. Intake, Inlet, and down pipe are required for stage 2 both 93 and E85.
Stage 2 E85 - Up to +203HP / 217 FT-LBS
For those looking to maximize the factory turbocharger's potential, our E85 calibration delivers incredible gains throughout the powerband with explosive acceleration and unmatched responsiveness. Full stage 2 mods plus MPI injectors are required (intake, inlet, downpipe)
One of the biggest things that separates our tuning from many competitors is the amount of attention we dedicate to drivability and smooth operation.
Making power is easy.
Making power while maintaining OEM-like manners is what takes time.
We spend extensive development time focusing on:
- Smooth throttle response
- Predictable torque delivery
- Linear power progression
- Improved part-throttle behavior
- Better low-speed drivability
- Traffic and commuting comfort
- Smooth engagement during normal driving
- Elimination of unnecessary harshness
The result is a car that feels incredibly natural to drive. Whether you're navigating rush-hour traffic, taking a long highway trip, or carving through back roads, the calibration behaves exactly how you would expect a premium Audi performance vehicle to behave.
No surging, No jerky throttle behavior, No abrupt torque spikes, Just smooth, controlled, confidence-inspiring performance.
Every Stage 1, 2 and 3 calibration includes our complete TCU tune at no additional cost.
No hidden fees. No separate transmission tune purchase. No paying extra to unlock the full potential of your vehicle. At Jackal we offer a complete tuning package, for one great price.
We firmly believe the transmission calibration is one of the most important aspects of the DAZA platform. In fact, it's often what customers notice first. Our TCU tune is the bread and butter of these cars.
The goal isn't simply to make shifts harder or more aggressive. The goal is to make the transmission shift smarter, smoother, and faster when needed.
Our TCU calibration delivers:
Daily Driving Improvements
- Smoother low-speed operation
- Better gear selection logic
- More natural part-throttle shifts
- Enhanced comfort during normal driving
Performance Improvements
- Faster upshifts
- Faster downshifts
- Improved launch control performance
- Increased clutch holding capability
- Optimized shift timing
- Quicker manual mode response
- Improved shift consistency under power
During normal driving, the transmission remains smooth and refined.
When you're at wide-open throttle, it delivers the quick, crisp, performance-oriented shifts the DAZA platform is known for.
The car feels more connected, more responsive, and more enjoyable in every driving situation.
Extensive Testing
Every calibration we release has undergone extensive testing both on and off the dyno.
Our development process includes:
- Extensive Dyno testing
- Real-world street testing
- Data logging in varying conditions
- Repeated calibration revisions
- Customer feedback integration
Dyno numbers are important, but they only tell part of the story. Real-world performance, consistency, reliability, and drivability are equally important to us. That commitment to refinement is why so many customers describe our calibrations as feeling OEM+ rather than aftermarket.
