Default Will vtec ativate with oil jet?

Ok I did a mini me setup a couple of weeks ago. I have vtec wired up and when it ativates I can't feel a difference. (I can activate it at idle and hear it click, once higher in the RPMs when it activates it just makes a little click sound but that's it) Plus I can't break 6k/100mph in 4th gear.

I was thinking that maybe the mech didn't take the oil jet out of my A6 block like I told him to. Wouldn't this cause vtec to not activate? (I know that if vtec isn't kicking in then I am running out the other lobes on the cam and that's why it won't break 100ph) Also this would make my oil pressure really high? Could this damage anything or be causing it to bog down?

Vtec won't get a sufficient pressure/heat to fully contact cam lobe to rocker lobe.If the oil control orifice isn't removed from the block,oil pressure is to high in the place where you dont need it.I would rip it apart and check just to be sure,also before you do any of that.....sounds really dumb but if your valve cover gasket doesn't seal,you lose pressure and vtec will still kick but will be exceptionally weak.
