What I've noticed after of few weeks of the ESS is that it is definitely quirky when the car is not warmed up. Push the gas too hard and the car jerks when it is cold. It seems to go away with the high torque map vs. the linear map though. Haven't explored the 3rd normal map yet. Keep in mind I'm at high elevation during the summer so things get complicated. Once it is warmed up it is great.

I did not experience this with the JB4 - mainly used map 1. The high torque ESS map feels (and sounds) like the JB4 map 1 (+4psi for all RPM) but I don't know what the ESS maps do.

I have not yet fully explored the +- settings on the ESS. On the linear stage when I set it to +3 it jerked a lot even when the car was warm. So perhaps setting it negative will smooth it out.
