Ess stage 1
i have Ess stage 1 plus jb4 + bcm,have experienced sudden loss of power
and during a half mile run flash codes due to torque management issues. Ess states the problem is the flash competing with the jb4,are other people running ecu flash plus jb4 having similar issues? |

Remove the jb4 and see if yours problems go away. From my experience the jb4s (piggybacks) can cause problems. The car will run better with just the flash.
Why are you running meth? Do you have stage 2 turbos? |

Read the fault codes. Also be aware the JB4 has its own internal safety systems and will disable itself if boost is over your safety setting, AFR lean, etc.

The fault codes were all related to torque management issues ESS refers that their Stage 1 doesnt work with the jb4 ,i will run without the jb4 to see how car feels and try to find out if the full ecu flash is better than a backend flash with the jb4 plus bcm

If ESS doesn't have a back end tune, reach out to DME or ACM. They have had great success with stacking the tune and Jb4. It's called a backend flash.

I disconnected the Jb4 and the car runs much better,no power loss,smoother,less fuel consumption ,my local
shop is trying to work it out with ESS because I understand they listed all my mods including my JB4 + BCM to ESS for me and my friend here DrM5 which had the same issues and fault codes as me.ESS should have offered the backend flash only instead of the full ECU flash knowing about the use of JB4.Local tuner says much more power to be made with the jb4 and the backend flash so I want to switch to that |

Workout with ESS to get your Backend Flash since you have JB4/BCM already. If issues doesn't get resolved look at boots thread and MissionPerformance on here with proven power on dyno. |

If you want to get rid of it, depending on your location, there are several options as others have stated. DME Tuning, Mission Performance, BPM, and HCP
