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..:wish:

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 :2cents:

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.

I bought my black wood stearing wheel OEM off ebay New for $100 DLR price was over $400 and i got my all season mats from the same guy on E-bay for $29.

I also got the OPTION pulley for $25 shipped and OBX headers for $175 shipped. SO I DO and DID buy alot of stuff on ebay .

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?
