Can someone tell me why "TPS" is flat and why "TPSadc" is not? TPS based enrichments will not trigger...and that sucks. I have to go to the dyno tomorrow so I appreciate the assistance.

VVT is fully working, if you look at your log, the VVT angle 1 is closely following the target.
You do however, want to set the ignition timing back to "use table" from "fixed timing", as it is 10* during the entire log.
TPS reading zero is probably a calibration issue in combination with the fact that the MS3 checks all sensors, and if something goes bad, boom.
Go to Can-bus/testmodes -> Check engine light, and set your minimum/maximum tps adc values for the check.

Yeah, durrr on the fixed timing. Hey, at least I turned-off launch control this time.
TPS values are really low, is that normal? I adjusted the CEL function in the testmodes.
The cam sounds way different on this car, so much that I trust my ear more than the data. However I suppose the log doesn't lie.
Thanks for the help dude. I know I'm annoying as **** at times, yet you keep tolerating me. Thank you so much.
On a related note, here's what happened yesterday:
I couldn't connect and the car was acting bizarre. I then questioned my coil wiring so I made a make-shift piggy-back ground. Then, I wiggled the fuel injection harness wiring and wires started smoking and glowing...eek!
It turns out that after a few hours of chasing a short, I found that I dropped two very important ground wires and the somehow became tangled into the starter and were going hot. I hacked the pretty harness so it can get to the dyno today though.
I may take Tuesday off to get the car balanced, aligned, and then take it to a dynojet for classing.

You can either tie them directly to MS, or assuming rev's harness brings them out to 2C and/or 2D of the factory harness, you can tie in there.
For 1.6 guys, does anyone know if the factory had decent sensor grounding? Since it didn't have a VTPS factory, my guess is the factory TPS ground is a 12v ground. This is just speculation...

Okay, this is weird:
The multi-meter clearly says RED is 5v.
In my car
1.6 wires.............................99 TPS
red..................goes to.......lt green/red
lt green/white....goes to.......black/red
black/green.......goes to.......green black
I'm fairly certain that if I screwed this up the TPS would read high voltage closed, low voltage WOT, right?
Also, can I run my new TPS ground to the OEM style plug or should I take apart the DB37 and connect it there? This is kind of funny, the more I dig into the wires, the more I realize I've done everything right from the start, lol.
