I wouldn't buy anything from ebay unless it was namebrand.

Anyways. Do a search for Hondata. They do tunes for accords and civics. I heard that they were working on the TL, but as of right now they don't have it ready. Last I heard.

Anyone else want to weigh in?

hondata tried and failed with the NA TL. Back in 2006 when I joined they had beta testers running, but hondata found that the car could make a little more power, but drop like crap on the street. Then when they tried to make it better it made less power... They only have a walk in service for the Supercharged TL's, but ussi had it and damaged his motor to my knowledge...

make sure you get RWD chip too. Automatically converts your car to RWD and you can drift like a pro

^Hahaha^ while your at it you can get the "battery powered super charger" and the turbo whisle for your exhaust pipe! Instant 50+ whp!
Sorry OP, if you want power you will have to pay for it, and keep in mind you have a TL not an EVO.
