Yes, compatible with JB4, ESS E-Tronic and others piggybacks that have boost control.

Corrrect, after initial flash the DME can be updated without removal.

DME can be overnighted to us, flashed and overnighted back to you with minimal downtime. If we get the DME early enough, it can be flashed and mailed out same day.

Is this a pre-programmed flash like a regular ESS tune or are you actually changing the parameter's yourself to accommodate the piggyback that the vehicle has installed ?
ESS performs all software tuning.

The ESS Backend flash was just released today, we'll post results once cars are flashed and dynos are collected. Performance numbers will vary based on controller and settings if configurable, as well as supporting mods. As stated in OP, there is no performance benefit to a backend flash without a piggyback installed, as this grants an elevated platform to work upon.

Piggyback type is also taken into account when flash is created but the tune is not targeted towards any particular brand. Simply opening up areas that piggybacks previously have had no access to.
