Is this Hondata ECU re-flash for the 1.5T (L15B7) a real thing?

Here is the link: http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=1284152

They say it costs $295 and gives the L15B7 an extra 25 to 28 HP, works best with 91 octane instead of regular and doesn't impact fuel economy. That much power is "hidden" in the same exact engine with the stock intercooler and everything else. Is there a way to do this DIY or is this only possible from Hondata? Note, the link to Hondata's site is dead which is why I am asking if it is real.

If this is real, that bumps the HP and torque of a bone stock CVT L15B7 from 174 HP & 167 TQ close to 200 HP & 200 TQ. Not bad for being the base engine in the hatch. That's damn near Type-S power.

They took it down because FlashPro is coming. No, it's not a hardware mod, there is no DIY except buying it when comes out and flashing via OBD port.

KTunerFlash is another tuning option.

Crazy they took it down, it was available just a few days ago. Are they going to redo the tune now that the 6 speed is out or only offer the Flashpro?

Those are impressive numbers through the cvt, right where I'm trying to get. How does the cvt feel with that much power? Can it put it to the wheels without slipping? How many kms/miles have you done with that power?

This CVT Model can go with 221WHP no slippy only tyre slippy. now 240kmh at top speed with upgraded part intercooler , air intake , titanium exhaust and down pipe from my company.

all the power fully on the road no CVT slippy at this moment (20,000km+ tested)
