Default p28 chipped in b18b

I ganked a OBD1 p28 out of my frineds civic he was selling to get it chipped and use it in my OBD2 TEG. After imediate removal, i connected it up 2 my TEG to see how it ran. I did have a cel light on w/o the 3k rev limit. Everything ran fine (a bit rough from the p28 MAP) I tried to check the engine code (jumper) and it wouldnt spit out code. I figured no biggie. (possible the vtec ecu, on a non-vtec motor?) I took the ECU to on of the only places around where I live that Honda mods, (Western PA, wont give name of place, they dont deserve the plug) and the told me they chipped it and everything was fine. I installed the ECU and the cel is still on, but now i cant rev above 4k. Uppon opening up the ECU to see how well the "professional" shop did, i noticed that they didnt install the 2 capacitors!? Would this be the problem? I have had problems with other ECU's which didnt rev ast 3k and i know that, that is the ECU in limp, but what about 4k??? I got over-charged ($90) for a damn simple solder job, and to top it off, the damn ECU wont work! I have tried several different *.bin's (from p28 to p75) and not one will work. Any help would greatly be appreciated!
