Yes the P28 (when it has a chip added to it like Hondata, Chrome etc..) is programmable. Even on a stock engine you will see performance benefits. Plus there is other benefits such as data logging and launch control (depending on what chip is used).

cheers guys sorry that i haven't been on for a while, lots of uni work and part time work . been wondering as my valves and pistons have got a heavy amount of carbon on them, would it be wise for a terraclean type of thing or would this do more bad than good. As ive got a theory in my head that the carbon is keeping good compression for the engine and if i had it cleaned that carbon would leave a gap? what are peoples thoughts. cheers
