Anyone with an ESS Flash Tune ?
I am getting a REALLYY good deal on a Flash ESS Tune from a friend of mine.
I want something simple and safe and he suggested that one. Anyone with it have any thoughts ?

I have ESS tune along with OEM catless downpipes. Tune has been great but I haven't dynod. I'm guessing it doesn't make the power of some others. No DTMAL issues so that is good. I have never had one error code.
I got a smoking deal because my Indy is a ESS distributor. If I were to do it again I would go with BPM or DME just based on proven power. But I can't say anything bad about ESS. |

Many big name tuning companies for different vehicle brands open them up. BMW is the 1st platform that I have seen a few companies drill holes in them. Its easy to open them up without damaging tabs |

In the beginning we had JB4 and non-CP m5's running around with too much boost for the fuel available (high trims, high AFR) so ESS was one of few tuners to do a backend flash where they adjusted AFR and disabled system that caused CEL when running catless dp's. They were also removing speed limiter. Now we have DME Tuning, BPM, Mission Performance, Enzo, GSR Technik, Eurocharged, ESS, etc that have since enhanced and perfected the tune for max power delivery in the safest way possable. They do more than adjust AFR...they adjust timing and boost. Some use 3.5 MAP sensors to go above and beyond 22 psi limit without havibg to use JB4.

I'm running the Stage 1+ tune. Nothing but positive things to say. On our Mustang Dyno on 91 octane, I baselined at 520whp / 475wtq. With full Armytrix and ESS Stage 1+, I made 615whp / 575wtq. For hot AZ and crappy 91 octane, I'd say that's solid. Never had a DTMAL or any other issues either.
