2) im pretty sure you do. I think I've heard of ways to check it without taking it out.

i dont mean to thread jack or anything but i checked the vias on my car and i reved it to over 5000 rpm and the arm on the vias thing moves. does that mean for sure it is working or could that mean the arm is moving but it isnt connected on the inside of the vias?

When you drive, when the RPMs come to 5K and after they get to ~6K, the area in between, do you hear engine rev'ing faster in that area or does it sound the same as before 5K? It should accelerate faster between 5K and 6K. That is the safest way to tell if it works...

I know what you mean amimax, i have the same thing, revved it past 5k with the throttle body and saw the arm move but im not sure if its working or not, since i cant really hear it. The intake tone does change though, well it should since my g/f just got an altima with the 2.5, i didnt even know it HAD a VIAS til i floored it and when it got to 5k the engine got deeper and sounded a little more agressive til it shifted, it was awesome

if you hear the changeover than you should be fine...no need to take it apart...and you saw the arm move...? the other way to do it is disconnect the harness from the vias selenoid and take it for a drive to see the power difference...
