'08 Type-S CA ECU Detuned?
Hi, So recently I bought a Manual 08 Acura TL Type-S.
The car was bought in California and made to meet CA emission requirements. My friend is telling me that the car has an ECU that was factory Detuned to meet CA emission requirements.
Is this true? And if so, can I have the ECU tuned back up or re-flashed?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

If you want a smoother power band and more consistent power delivery, pick up Hondata Flashpro.
I think your friend is mad jelly you got a 6MT TL-S
