Is that Lambo door on your TSX????

Anyways, you should search before you purchase any items because up till now there's NO OTHER ECU piggy-back or tuning for TSX, with the exception of Hondata Reflash, OR, the up coming K-Pro from Hondata.

Good luck, your car will never be the same. Those i-vtec controller is pretty garbage not even the DC5 guys run it.

Everybody starts somewhere! Although admittedly the ECU is not a great starting point.

Automatic transmissions are generally more expensive to repair/service than manuals...

your dad so no manual trans because you'll mess something up, so instead you went and messed up your ECU wiring? way to stick it to the man

If you don't know cars then messing with the ECU is the LAST thing you want to do. Stay and read the forums for a while and you'll see that iVtec controllers don't work on the TSX, you'll also see the only option you have is the hondata reflash, but if you're an 08 AT you are SOL on that and I believe you'll even be SOL on K-pro for an 08 automatic.
