I’m looking to street tune my Acura. It is OBD II. I’m trying to find someone who can lend me OBD II scanner, so I can tune my car.  
Do you know someone or some place that can I can borrow or rent from?

Thank you,

ILIA

Yes, any 1996+ car sold in N.A. will have to be OBD-II. And OBD-II ECU are supercomplicated to be tuned with a piggyback. Scanner is needed with real time streaming info.

BTW, I have 2003 Acura EL. It’s been turbocharged for couple of years now, but I’ upgrated my fuel set up just now, so I need a scanner to tune it.

I just bought on OBD II USB scanner on ebay, Auterra for $180 USD.  
Looks like a good pice of equpement. Can monir and draw ingo in real time. Also has a Dynomomenter capability. I think it will draw a graph as well.  
I like this Dyno feature, I know it may not be accurate, but it gives a reference point, so I think its nice to have.
