umm I thnk your on the wrong section then. this is Gen 3 TL 04-08.
You sir have a Gen2 TL. You can probably pull it off since I see the CL-S doing it also. You should be fine. But if you have a gen3 TL your only choice as of now is the AEM FIC

And the F/IC isn't all it's cracked up to be either. We're still lacking any sort of closed-loop solution. (read: The ECU will still see that the car is too lean/rich and compensate for any adjustments made) I'm working on something to help us F/I guys with this exact issue, but anyone N/A is going to be out of luck. One other note about the F/IC - you can't advance timing so it's not all the helpful for N/A tuning.

If you're N/A, just hold tight. Stuff is on the way, but it could take up to a year before it's available. If you're F/I, you pretty much have no choice but to run the F/IC (or similar) for the being and hope that your tune is good enough to get you by until these O2 skew modules become available.
That being said, I don't know just how much there is to squeeze out of a N/A J32 with a piggy-back unit. There are a few known issues that are playing against you. The biggest one is that these engines already knock to some degree in stock form. I also know that there is a rumor going around that Hondata has attempted to tune J32's before but ended up blowing motors. I'm not sure what the reasoning was. Again, this is a rumor and I cannot confirm its validity, but it's something worth thinking about.
