It is just a windows based program that modifies Honda ROMs. You save your modified maps to a bin file and burn it onto the chip. You still need all the hardware like ECU, chip burner, wideband O2 sensor, chip kit, etc.

Crome is more of a DIY program that is very user friendly, and IMO, is better and cheaper than Hondata.

I have an ITR turbo...Greddy turbo to be exact. On stock type r motor I only run 5psi just because the high compression I've heard people have done up to 10, I don't really trust them specially because my baby is on the line (plus is a type r and not an ls or gsr). My friend was running 8psi on a civic(it had the type r motor and the garret t3/t4) and he F**KED it up hard core. Honestly unless you get internals just run 5psi. What I'm going to do is swap my motor for a GSR get internals and boost as much as I want(SAFE), and just keep my Type R motor. I wouldn't want to mess up a Type R motor just because is so amazing...listen to my advice...PEACE

The compression ratio is so minimally different between the GSR and Type R motor, so why would you boost a lot more on an almost equally high compression motor?
And we all know that 5 psi on a Greddy turbo is not going to be the same (powerwise) than 5 psi on a T3/T4 who knows what trim your friend had.
Your post just makes no sense and proves that you really don't know much about Honda motors or turbocharging in general.
