Absolutely. I have been the hugest proponent of VVT-i and how helpful it is. More difficult to tune but worth every penny. It's funny how everyone here in the USA uses regular 2JZ's but you ask a person from Japan or Australia what they think of us not using vvti and they think were stupid. lol.... seriously. Wtf are lexus is300 owner pulling out their motors for non-vvti 2jzgte's. because they want a FFIM!? haha....

I had the choice of a non vvti 2JZGTE and a vvti 2JZGTE. They were both the same price for me. I chose the vvti.
"Back in the day," people had trouble making more than 400 HP with them because of tuning issues. Now theres no reason not to go VVTi. I believe the throttle swap back to a cable is bolt-on, plug-n-play otherwise.
I would do a VVT-i 2JZ if I could. As THMotorsports said, they're a lot more difficult to tune but the fact that not everyone on this side of the world does them along with how much more the VVT-i gives you, it's just better IMO.
This is pretty cool comparison

Thanks for the replys, this is very interesting. So to my understanding, this would allow you to run a larger turbocharger, with reduced lag and no need for a quick spool valve?
If you want to feel the difference in something you can really tell... go jump into a newer 4runner. Compared to the old ones they have WAY more low end torque. The vvt-i is seamless and is worth every last penny.
Plus you should get better fuel economy when your out of the throttle cruizin' down the road.
