VSA is a lot like traction control. I am speaking from experience, if you hit a wet spot with VSA on or lose any traction, it kills the power to the front wheels until traction is regained and then power is restored. If you turn VSA off you can burn your tires or if you lose traction cause of water they will just continue to spin. Hope this helps.

Here's Acura's explanation of how VSA works: http://www.acura.com/Features.aspx?m...ability_assist

In addition to reducing torque, it engages the brakes of certain wheels to steer the car in the right direction.

kpro gives you to ability to tune your car for your specific mods/needs, whereas the reflash is tuned for cars that have I/H/E.

I recommend reading the excellent Hondata website top to bottom. It has a ton of excellent info on the TSX & programmable ECU info.

Reflash is a set map. Kpro allows you to mess around.
