my recommendation is if you have to ask how to do it, its better if you leave it alone.
the cl isnt really a high powered car, our ecu's are fine stock

you can get a vafc mod. thats about all i would do to it. even then you need to get all the mods intake, headers, exhaust, cams, etc. before you have it tuned or youll need it retuned everytime you modd something. but its only gonna give you like 8hp tops. and for 200+$ its not worth it imo.

And yeah VAFC is the way to go, but like will said, you have to do a lot of mods to notice ANY difference

You can't reflash our ecu's. You have to go with a piggyback.
