Question hondata Reflash or 02 surge

i am looking for advice whether to get a hondata reflash or this 02 surge chip. Stage 3 Surge O2 Chip Combo by Surge Engineering

i wanna know if its worth paying more for the reflash or if its just a better choice as far as reliability.

I've never read about anyone owning that other chip mentioned, stick with Hondata for your best results. The more specific the part is to the car, the more likely it is to perform better. I vote Hondata.

That 02 thing looks like a generic part.

Hondata you know where it comes from, a long history of hondas/acuras.

That 02 chip looks like a variable resistor... Not going to be much of anything power wise. I think they call it snake oil...

I wish someone would come out with a DIY COBB AccessPORT style re-flash unit.

Cobb Tuning has Accessport for the Civic SI. They told me they might do the TSX!
