Nice....But is it functional? Doesn't look like the car was driven, or the turbo even mounted.
However.....I find this intersting.....

The VVTi is enabled and functional, but the amount of adjustment has been restricted by a few degrees to remove the possibility of piston to valve contact. This was done because it would be possible when programming the ECU to enter a value that cause piston to valve contact and we wanted to remove the chance for damage to occur due to an error or electronic glitch.

^ I didn't even think about that! Hmmmmmmmmm
Well I'm stoked that its been done before, however I wish we could see some documentation or a full write-up on this, hell....a dyno plot would be sweet but again, I don't think this engine has been ran.
Edit: ooops...missed this part --> The whitetop engine has been built but never used, while most other components have been assembled into a car and tested with a standard BEAMS engine. The turbocharger has never been used.
