It was always the plan to offer VVTuner as an unassembled kit. However the assembly had a couple of aspects that we felt may be too awkward for some users, so we decided to offer assembled only.
Recently we respun the board. It's the same design, just a somewhat different layout and form factor. The new board is much easier to assemble, so we'll offer it as both assembled and unassembled kits in the future. That's coming, but I don't want to launch that before figuring out this other thing.
The sync issue is not related to the old layout or the new layout. Graeme had an old board and Reverant a new board. Not sure what Hustler has.

Yes. You leave some on the table compared to a standalone, but a NA6 with VVT swap, stock computer, and standalone VVTuner will make substantially more torque than stock. With the same swap but without VVTuner, you leave a huge amount of torque out of the mid end. A standalone can still mean 10+ ft lbs down low and 5+ hp up top (on a stock engine).
Are you saying that you can run an NA6 or NA8 stock ECU from the VVTuner or are you still recommending to use the NA CAS for the ECU? That is what I wanted to do from the start, but I could not get it to work.

Sync loss is still there. I will go even tighter on the CKP. Is there a chance these used sensors are bad and if so, how can I check that? I have two new sensors but those were resrved for the track car. Oh well, more god damned money.

Loosing crank or cam? The NB cam sensors are known unreliable, especially in the VVT head. Though I've so far never needed them, I keep a spare cam sensor in the glovebox of the street car and another one in the trailer for the track car.

What is funny is that I have never had an issue with NB sensors in the past 2 years with them actually working. I have used 3-4 different crank sensors during that time, all have been used. Mostly because I always forget to remove them when I am removing the crank pully bolt and I end up breaking the plastic mounting tab for the crank sensor.

I'll stop crapping up Hustlers thread and start my own. With blackjack, and hookers, and stupid wiring diagram questions. ...or expect a PM

No solder cups. No wires. Pins that are soldered directly to the PCB.
