Engine was built at a tuning shop in japan, put in 8 years ago, I would suspect it has about 100k's on it, I was suprised at the low compression myself, but that being the case I thought maybe it had been built as a low compression engine? Idk, havent seen the internals, will be talking to a local shop about the work I want done tomorrow or on wednesday.
What's so special about not having the VCT? and it's implications re bigger turbos? Hadn't heard anything about vct being an issue before.
