any car can be controlled. ur gonna kill urself if ur foot is on the gas pedal to the max everytime, thats what feathering the throttle is. only idiots drive like that all the time. the gas pedal isnt on and off.

single turbo upgrades are still efficient, and with the right turbo and manifold combo, you can minimize turbo lag to be on par with the original sequential twin turbo setup.

If they want an easy way of adjusting cams I would just get a 2 piece timing cover.

not really possible, the top part of the cam sprockets are under the valve cover, the bottom part of the cam sprockets are covered by a plastic piece that is easily removable with 4 hex bolt screws.

i assume its just too troublesome to remove the valve cover when playing with the adjustments.

it could also be for show too, the owner wouldnt have paint matched his engine bay and polished it up unless he was planning on showing it. and thus, no one knows u have adjustable cam sprockets unless u can physically see them.
