It made decent low end tq on the dyno but fell off massively where the JB4 held steady.

I will be getting a 2016 in a couple months and I will be giving the ESS flash tune a try. Until then I'll stick w/ JB4. Not sure there is a better piggyback solution even with the 6MT not being tested as much with the OBD features.

I also agree the ESS install was more difficult and messier than JB4. Not sure why they decided to mount the hardware where the brake booster is but it's a mess.
Both of BMS's cars are DCT but PURE TURBO has a JB4 M4 and I know BMS borrows it from time to time for development. What is the issue with your MT features? Throw a note in their //M forum I'm sure they'd love to work with you to fix it.
