You have to unsolder the old chip, solder in the socket, flash chip to base tune, and then have tuned. I'm guessing your "Mugen" chip came off eBay? I had one of the "Spoon" chips back in 00 before I knew anything about Honda's and went through four distributors in six months. Took it out and no problems after. They are trash and will probably make your car slower.
