where can I get a "chip" for my 2006 acura tsx. and how much are they, and how much HP do they add?

There is no such thing as a "chip" anymore. Ever since cars had OBDII ports installed on them in 1996, chips are irrelevant. What you are looking for is a power programmer. You can get them from Hypertech or Diablo. Those are the most notable companies. It will cost you about $400 for a programmer. You can get up to 20 horsepower under an agressive tune, but it will push the car beyond the limits of what it was designed to do.

There is no magic "chip" If you want more power, you will either have to buy a new ECU or have your present one updated.
