Default Lets Get Some Ecu Help

Ok i am running a b18ls with boost
The ecu is from the earlyer motor setup which was a ls vtec turbo but i went to the ls and am still using that ecu but it boggs really bad at high rpms due to it trying to dump in fuel because it trying to work vtec not to mention i had a built motor running 19 psi and now i am only running 8
a buddy told me to throw a ls ecu in there for now till my tune... will i tbe safe is my question i have 650 injectors and a walbro 255 will the ls ecu be safe i dont want to lean out

why the hell would you use a map tuned for a completely different setup? or even thinking about going WOT? this is a fast way to blow up a motor.
find a basemap for the 650s so you can at least drive it there.

Well it not even wot and I used that ecu so I can drive the car so I can get to my job. I don't have a chip burner so finding that map won't help.. I need to find a chip that would be a base but I cant

why dont you just keep your ecu in from your ls vtec and drive it normal without any boost if you only have to get to work.. and you had to give it some WOT if you know that it bogs at higher rpm.!!!!!!

Both ecu's will bog the same with that chip. The LS w/o the chip will be 270% richer from idle to redline - and have no ability to add extra fuel for boost.

Nothing short of a VAFC or retune will let your car run decently again. At this point, trying to boost on it will result in washing your rings out SOON. The fix is re-honing the cylinders, new rings, and possibly scuffed pistons due to no lubrication.
