so youre car is tuned and you go out and buy a new UNTUNED p28 to fix your vtec problem in your TURBO teg ? not very smart. you need to go do some reading about vtec then you can start troubleshooting again. try SEARCHing here or on
team-integra.net<---better info than HT in my opinion.

i was running a chipped p05 converted to a p28 so the only thing i had to do was remove the chip from the one and put it in the other not very hard to think about and its not very dumb to do, its perfectly safe, similar ecu just one is converted
