It will run it fine, but you'll have a check engine light

No you won't. It will run richer though so you'll smell more fuel

Get it chipped and have a ls base map installed.
Or sell/trade the p28 for a p75 and have no worries...

I don't think this is correct.

for some reason i was thinking of a p72 ecu, my bad. but once again it will run the car fine until WOT where it will start leaning out.

Well, a better option to me is to offer the P28 for sale or trade and then get the correct ecu, so youre not having any issues.

I have a p28 on my obd1 b18b chipped and tuned it works great. Save the hassle of trading, you'll want a tune on any ecu you get anyway no?

got the right p75 but it still acts like it has no power and stumbles

Pull your intake tube off and start your car. Put your hand over the throttle body to completely seal the intake. Your car should die very quickly. If it doesn't, you have some vacuum leaks somewhere.
