I know Greg, Green STi wrap currently.
The issue with adjusting VVEL is that the ECU has no control over it, the system is completely separate from the main ECU. This is what is causing all the problems with adjusting timing when tuning because the ECU shows it, but the VVEL system overrides any changes.

I am hoping that Uprev will be able to get some progress on their VVEL block they tore down recently and see some worthwhile results. I usually bug them once every few months to check on progress and anything new they have found.

Wait...so GTM was saying their "preliminary" results showed signifigant gains when tuning VVEL and then they just gave up?

Doesn't that sound odd to anyone?

There is more than just finding the results, you have to be able to reproduce them without extreme cost.
I believe at the time GTM was using a stand alone ECM system to adjust VVEL which most people will not want to buy and then pay to tune VVEL. Where as Uprev is working on being able to use existing ECU/software to control VVEL creating a cheaper solution with the same results.

So as it stands, it an be done but it is extremely expensive and labor intensive.

There's a guy in Germany that was working on this last year. I think he has it installed now. You'll have to search though...
