Type S ECU

Has anyone ever tried switching the ECU to a Type-S ECU? I have a friend who works for Acura as technician. Today he told he he switched out the ECU on an Acura TL for a Type-S ECU. He was just experimenting & noticed that the car had better performance & pulled much better. JW if this has ever been done?

Is this a 4g that your referring to? There is no type S and Im assuming this is for the FWD if it is the 4g.

They're talking about 3G - in the wrong place.

Heard a few mixed things about this i was at the track a few weeks ago and a kid told me that he switched his base tl ecu out with a type s ecu could be bullshitting but the car definately performed different and yes the car started
