Do you need a retune if you swap vct cam with aftermarket cam gear?

Hi there,
Currently have a build Sr20det in my s14 and the only thing that wasnt upgraded was the vct, the vct ended up being super rattly so I replaced it with one that wasent, 2 weeks later the new one started rattling, if I was to swap my vct cam gear with an aftermarket cam gear would I need to retune the car?
Thanks

probably. what ecu are you using? might be able to just unplug the vct solenoid on the stock ecu.

in my opinion id rather pay for new vct gears than pay to down-tune the car. you're losing a lot of low end torque by ditching vct.

Link ecu, so very customisable. Only reason I don't want to buy another vct is that it's double the price of a aftermarket cam set, but I see where you are coming from with the loss in power

It would be a mistake to omit the VCT.
