From what ive been reading its the one of choice, though some are starting to think of using both because one has features the other doesnt and vice versa.

for that your going to have to get some sort of Engine management. if i was you though, unless your amazing at tuning your car, i would leave up to a tuner.

If you screw something up, your Shit outta luck man.

as far as the Apexi Neo is concerned, i was hair's away from buying one for my old TL, and well... i gotta say it's rather difficult.


I think so far, the most efficient " tuning system" is defintely a Cobb Accessport. I have one on my STi, and you can use a open Source tune and switch between Base Map's, and when you go to your tuner, you can get a whole new Map set accordingly to your fresh tune.


This is part of the reason why i sold the TL.... lack of aftermarket support.

That is one bad thing about the Acura... Lack of tuning equipment available. There are SOOOOO many improvements that could be made im sure. I know that on my 06 Trailblazer SS my buddy has HPtuners and it is a DREAM!!! We just plug it up to my ECM and can change anything and everything. Being able to log and make adjustments accordingly is great!! Not to mention you can squeak EVERY last bit of power out of it...

Oh well, guess we are stuck with what we got.
