1998 Acura 3.0CL Chipped?
Alright so my brother has a 2000 GTI 1.8T Volkswagen. Were talking at his house one day and he tells me he chipped his car. I had to clue what the hell he meant. He explains and now his turbo is running at a higher PSI and he got 35 HP out of it. Has anyone hear chipped or heard anything about chipping our cars?

Well, chipping usually can make a big difference in turbo cars...

Your CL is not turbo for one thing. And secondly, I don't know if I'd want to mess with anything on the 3.0 that would give it more power considering the tranny already sucks ass.

But hey, let teh gurus answer better, I know they will!

There are no chips that are made nor work with our cars. All you can do is get a piggyback or a custom standalone.

Nor can the 3.0 ecu be reflashed.
