Other than that no.

I am thinking of getting the MEVi but am leaning towards an 00vi. I really like my low end power and dont want to lose it with the MEVI.
is a MEVI?

MEVI = Middle Eastern Variable Intake
Available on VQ30 engines outside the US, hence the Middle Eastern part. When tuned propertly, you can develop a little more HP out of the stock bottom end of the motor. Generally, in the upper RMP range. Do a search and you will find many many many threads discussing MEVI vs. 00VI.

I put my mevi on even before I had a y-pipe, its worth it even without a raised rev limit. The lost low end isn't as bad as everyone makes it sound. If you want a simple bolt on with no complications go with the mevi. If you can handle a bit of customizing and research get the 00VI
to be funny.

Good to know there is some humor out there about this topic. I've been considering the mod myself and have been devoting many hours to doing the research. Just to make it more funny....which is better, MEVI or 00VI? Ha! Complete sarcasm intended.

You can get the look of a drop with just springs too.....

With no ECU, the MEVI sure does take away the fun on WOT shifts. I remember the days of shifting at 6500rpms and landing way low in the rpms. God that sucked. The car just felt doggish especially on the 1-2. That all changed with the JWT ECU

And i call
on the whole "less torque is good cus it makes for easier launches" argument. Losing torque is never a good thing.

Since i know you spend most of your in time in the mid-range on the courses.

i more into road courses lately and i noticed that i dont have anythign up top...and when say i am in 4th going into a turn i drop to second...usually hit like 4500 but then t starts to fall off kwikly...i dunno it really is a toss up...but honestly a few torque "points" u lose make up for it in top end power which we just dont have.....but at auto-x i am dumb as waste my time to drop into 1st around sharp turn-around just because our gears are so long it sucks...so i am still in the upper range more
