Is VTC that critical to get maximum performance out of the GA16DE? I'm really sick of my car "telling me when to shift". It's more of a hinder than a plus to me. I'm just posing an opinion. Any comments?
VTC has nothing to do w/ when an automatic shifts (i'm assuming you have one cuz manual cars don't tell you when to shift...). If you don't believe me, on your next drive, from a stop, mash your gas down to the floor and hold it there. It'll shift out at around 6200 cuz that's the present shift point but that has nothing to do with the VTC (you can bypass it by shifting manually from 1-2-3 and push the little 'turbo' button, i like to call it for OD). VTC is a keeper, you want it.
I have a manual and u do feel vtc when it advances again in high rpm's. it's a drastic drop in power and when u shift the car it power is regained. so it basically is wanting u to shift

I know what you mean. I have an automatic but if I'm shifting manually I too feel the power loss above 6600rpm due to the vtc. Getting the JWT ecu solves the problem because with the new program, the vtc doesn't change back at high rpms like stock.
