Performance chips for TL

I am considering a G-Force chip for my 07 TL. I know a couple of people that have installed them in non Acura cars and they claim better performance and fuel economy. Anyone out there with Acura chip experience?

at your friends that installed G-force chips.


G-force chips is a tiny resistor packaged and marketed for those who dont know any better.
you can get the same resistor from radioshack for 2 bux.

additionally, the resistor tries to trick the ECU into thinking that its colder outside, tricking the ECU into advanced timing.....

only that the TL's ECU is smart and will revert back to stock in a matter of MILLISECONDS.

OP justnspace is correct. You should spend more time research the forums and you will actually find what "performance chip" you are looking for since you are a 07 TL.

Also, check out our vendors too.

also its not a chip. and is likely beyond the money someone looking for a "performance" chip is willing to spend

Thanks for the responses. I will dig deeper into the forums. Initially I found nothing about the performance chips. The brand I was considering that my friends have is G Force.

^again, G-force is just a resistor that you can buy at Radioshack for under a dollar.

look for the Hondata flash.

You didnt find anything because the chips your looking at are useless on a TL. No need to dig deeper. You have been told what is available that works.

what youre looking into isnt compatible with most TL's, like trying to connect a blackberry (the chip) with the iphone (the TL)..stick to pro mods and tuning brotha
