Flash time varies by ECU. Some could be as short as 5 minutes and others like Head Unit could be as long as 45 minutes.
You cannot run the engine, as Flash TAL will put car in Transport Mode.
There is no risk at all of bricking ECU from FDL Coding, so the risk of bricking that comes with flashing is certainly higher, but so long as car and laptop have stable uninterrupted power, and flash instruction is properly followed, it is fairly low.
