How soon will be you able to chip the P28? If it's not long, the P72 should be ok until then.

run a chipped p28 ecu. the gsr ecu will only recognize the dual butterflys while you are running a single vtec engaement with the type r head. Probably wouldn't run too well. i have a b18c1 with a skunk2 IM and im running a chipped p28.

i know the chipped p28 is best choice but i dont have the funds to get it chipped, will it hurt the motor like running too rich or lean with the gsr ecu???
