So dug into my VR to do chains and went overboard, restoring/coating everything. I installed a few bits along with all new timing components and havent gotten tuned yet (would like to sort this first). I only removed VVT with the schimmel cam plates/chain tensioner because the head was decked before getting my O.K. And the chain had slack i couldnt remove with the stock actuators.

-Schrick 268/264 cams
-Schimmel Cam Plates
-Schimmel Manual Chain Tensioner
-DSG Dual Mass Flywheel
-USP HiFlow Cats/Downpipes
-Custom Magnaflow 2.5” Catback
-Ceramic Coated/Ported Exhaust Manifolds
-ECS Poly Motor Mounts
-032 Dogbone Insert

Im getting codes:
-P000A/000010 - Camshaft A (Bank 1 Intake): Positioner Slow Response
-16398/P0014/000020 - Bank 1: Camshaft B (Exhaust): Retard Setpoint not Reached (Over-Advanced)
I feel definitive hesitation on partial throttle and even getting into the kickdown switch is lack-luster. Fuel trims are within spec as well. Any one seen these codes with installing? Thanks for any leads!

You should share your build in the VW R32 Owner's group on Facebook

Check these measuring blocks in VAGCom :

"Valid for both MK4 and MK5 R32:
• Blocks 208 & 209 should be as close as possible to 0°, the spread should not exceed 3°. The absolute wear limit is 8° spread whether + or minus. If the spread is well above 3° but under the limit, then chain & guide replacement should be considered.

Golf 5 R32 & Audi BUB only (intake adjustment range 52°/exhaust adjustment range 42°):
• For both blocks 90 & 91 the set-point value at idle is 0°, no matter what the values in blocks 208 & 209, at a duty ratio of about 15.3%.
The actual value should not be more than 0.5 ° (Valid for both OEM & aftermarket cams).
If the values are way off from 0° the timing chain may be mistimed or skipped. Around 11.25° deviation corresponds to a skip of 1 tooth."

Check the values at operating temp. The VVT solenoids can cause problems if gunked up, or simply dead.

lol you serious?

You deleted your VVT, of course the ECU is gonna throw codes.

I have a decked head and VVT. Heck I've had a headspacer / decked head and ran VVT no problem.

Either throw in your old phaser and time it properly or buy an standalone.

No, spaced-out!! No reading comprehension while spaced-out...
