2011 N51 SULEV issues

Been fighting this thing for quite some time now. Service Engine Soon light every time I turn around. Rough idle, engine shaking bad when engine is screaming, misfires, etc. I have already replaced plugs & wires, both VANOS cylinoids, valve cover, new battery. I have gotten rid of the engine scream & most of the rough idling & the car seems to be driving great but Service Engine Soon light just cam on again & now I'm getting codes 2A7A (cold start/VANOS outlet) & 2A87 (Exhaust VANOS code). Dealership is stating that there is no SULEV warranty bc Virginia does not participate in Emissions but i just found out that Northern Virginia does. Not sure where to go from here. Dealership is going to bust me wide open if I take it there. Any other suggestions from anyone out there?
