Update even tho your problem seems unrelated. Took the car to the tuner, he initially logged with a "standard" ECU reading tool, and everything seemed and looked fine, logs very similar to yours. So he erased them, went for a drive, and the code came back up. So he then pulled the laptop and started logging other things with Ecutek only to find out that even tho the ECU reports the cam angles to be more or less ok, they werent actually working at all. All cam sensors were reading 0 volts at all times. So he then went on a hunch and replaced the sensor on the right side, and boom, magically it works. Code doesnt come back, car has gained some power that probably lost over time as I didnt notice a power loss, but certainly noticed a power gain after it was fixed.

The whole "once the P0016 comes up the ECU seems to be done, even if you replace the parts it keeps coming" thing that I seem to read in several threads here is more than likely that the ECU was faulty but not all ECUs are at fault when this code comes up, at least mine wasnt.
