    just get the hondata reflash. No one on here would put that on their car. You can always upgrade from the reflash to k-pro later on for $500

    it's up to you. I would go reflash first, then the mods. Only because once you finish with i/h/e you will want more and then all you have to do is upgrade to k-pro. But I know I got my k-pro for 859 with return shipping. So had I got the reflash first and then upgraded to k-pro I would have essentially forked out another $200 in the end.

    you can buy the reflash from a lot of vendors, but most if not all require you to ship the reflash to Hondata in SoCal

    Yeah Hondata is expensive but it's worth it if you depend on doing major mods to your car. If you only plan on bolt ons then go with the Hondata Reflash.

    Speaking from experience, do it right the first time, or spend more money in the long run fixing problems. Not to be harsh, but if you can't afford it then just simply don't mod.

    The reason there are so many Hondata fanatics on this board is because it's tried and proven. E-manage will work but you're still looking at a similar price to the reflash. Your best bet is to wait around for the Christmas specials that vendors have, I picked up K-Pro for around $720 and some change.

    how much horsepower are you wanting eventually? throwing that kind of money on NA seems a little much, imo.

    especially 5g's on the a3 is a waste. It would be better to go the k20a2, k24a2, or a k20/24 frank. Then build those a bit. Better money spent especially if you do all your own work.

    I would stay away from that venom scam. I know for a fact that, it does NOT work at all. Couple years back, my buddy put that in his civic and didint feel a thing. Also a guy at work bought it for his mustang gt and claims that didint do anything for his car.
