Default 07 5.4 vgt fail = new motor?

My 07 5.4 With 45k miles has problems.... Rough start, loss of power, and brakes feel like manual brakes... VACUME RIGHT?? Codes shown up before I brought it to dealer were P0012, P0022, P0018, P0300, P0345, P0020. Cam position sensor is what I thought at that point. Brought it to dealer they said VGT failed and they are going to replace the entire motor. They did not test brakes yet.
Any suggestions?

Hello, I have the same problem. Does anyone know what the cause of this is? I'm being told that the engine is gone and it will be 8200$ to get it up and running again. PLEASE help.

The Truck seems to run will while under load, and at normal speeds.

Well.. Thanks ya'll for scaring me into NOT buying a clean, 2007 Expedition 4x4 XLT, 122,000 miles, 5.4 for $6,000. Book on this puppy is close to $12k and it supposedly runs great but it's in Eastern Pennsylvania and I'm 65 miles east of Chicago. Not too keen on flying out there and finding out that it's a turd... Bummer.... it has the police package and was obviously driven by a detective with a few stripes.
Guess I'll just stick with my slightly ratty '97 F150 SCAB 4x4 with 4.6 and only 227,000 miles and still cookin along problem free.
I would have thought that Ford would have gotten it's act together and dropped the phased cam timing design they've been using (with what seems to be a s***load of problems) since 1999 for a better design.
GM is using variable cam timing with freakin PUSHRODS.... and NO problems....
The Japanese seem to be able to design and build problem free OHC VVT engines but I will NEVER park a Toyota in my driveway.... ick.
