Power Performance Chip 2nd Gen TL

I was looking on ebay at some power performance chip for the 2nd gen TL that claims to give 30 horsepower and a huge increase in gas mileage...I wanted to know if anybody has tried this, or if anyone knows if it even works..

To be honest I dont believe those "chips" on Ebay work at all. I suggest you take your car and get tuned properly instead of plugging in/soldering on a chip that claims very HIGH improvements for a very little amount of money.

Although I have never tried it (nor ever will), I can't tell you if they work or not from experience, I'm just putting in my

just get your bolt ons and reset the ECU..

to tune your car you would have to buy a new ECU like Hondata and get a dyno/tune at a shop.. that will run you several hundred dollars

the only thing i would buy off Ebay for my car would be keychains and floormats

Hondata doesnt make a standalone for our car and if they did it would be more than a few hundred. It would be 1k. You can however get teh AEM fic or Emanage Blue.

im sure there are a lot of great deals but also a lot of horror stories.. (cracked pipes, wrong parts etc.) i just like to visually inspect something im spending money on and putting into my car before i buy..

bought my comptechs off a member here.. met up with him and liked what i saw

whats up brother? Sorry to hassle u bro. I know these kind of questions go around a billion times. I have an AT 2003 tl. The trans is an av6 off of an 06 accord. I’m currently swapping in a J35a3 and putting j32a2 heads and ecu on it(was a base model tl-p). What can I use to tune for a more aggressive yet reliable and safe tune on my car?
