    its it coming on cam, just at the point where the cams are working at their best and you get a little kick at 5k. vvt just allows them to fit more wild cams and still have the car idle more normally, thats how you can have such a high reving power band but still fine to drive around town

    dont worry mate, if vvt isnt engaging it wont feel strong through the revs, once its up to temperature it should pull to 7000rpm without dropping off the power. it wont make any difference at 5k. although ive never heard of a dephaser "not working" they usually just make mental loud noises!

    thats not VVT kicking in at 5k its just it coming on cam, dephaser wont make a difference at 5k, you will just notice a lack of power throughout the rev range if anything, usually its just noise

    a search will throw up loads of threads on buying them but also check the exhaust isnt blowing at the welds or joints as they do when they are about to fall off and the stress of a sagging mount as mentioned could accelerate that wear, as can worn engine mounts
