+15bhp seems optimistic on a 2.0 N/A to me... more like 8-10bhp from a remap (fuel/timing). With intake and exhaust mods you might get to +15bhp.

Looks like you need to take the car to their garage or send the ECU to them. I think its more like they want the car there so unless you want to drive to eastern europe id give it a miss. 15bhp does seem optimistic as h10ndr says.

Cebul got 150 from his with I/h/e plus intake manifold without a tune.

Just turbo it.

Rob I love your commitment to this idea but I cant afford it

Looking at ways to get a little more poke without spending to much.
You looked at turbo what was overall cost?

I would invest into hondata s300 maybe

get some intake exhaust mods, take it to a proper tuner

and go from there

if it don't meet your expectations you can always keep the ecu for another Honda

Is there not a better intake manifold & throttle body you can put on the 2.0L engines for decent, cost effective gains?

i.e. 2.3L components?
