don't hold your breath for a vvel crack. Last I know of only UpRev has been working on it, its been a tedious and slow procedure (I even heard they blew a motor in the process) and I think there was mention they didn't see any real gains from it (not sure if they tested it with forced induction). I wonder, if someone ran a full standalone setup could they then control VVEL? As it stands there is an ECU for all the "normal" tuning parameters and VVEL has its own control unit. Maybe a standalone could do the job of both.

Personally, the fact that GTM isn't working on it means that Sam believes that he can make plenty power working around VVEL. Moreover, I don't think GTM wants their S/C kits making more than 500-540whp because it would take away from the TT market share. The real loss doesn't come in our limitations on peak HP but torque. Quoting HP numbers is great but no S/C kit is going to anything more than 400tq. That seems to only be possible by TT kits which are mechanically more complex, create more heat and cost more.
