its not all about big mods to improve performance/hp either... simple maintenance will go a long way and improve the way your car responds. cleaning the throttle body, maf, etc... changing sparks, filters, oil. having no codes (working o2 sensors and knock sensor) etc... ask anyone on the forums. these simple cost effective things are much higher on the list before you go adding a mevi or what not
sidenote: i love how "noobs" come in here and within the first 100 posts they start asking bout costs/install/etc on turbos and superchargers. haha. this is what fast and furious did to the car world! "push this red button and i go fast"

Spark plugs, fuel filter, engine oil / filter, brakes, PCV valve, vleaning the TB and IACV, transmission oil, coolant, break fluid, PS fluid, and most of all tires, all these must be looked after first before buying intakes and exhaust. Why spend money on mods when u can RE-GAIN performance doing the basic maintenance first.
Since ur a newbie, you should do a Mevi swap. The 00vi has its greatness but its a ***** to install if you dont know what your doing. People gonna tell you blah blah blah the Mevi makes you lose torque downlow, mannnnnnnn I HAVE NEVER FELT A DIFFERENCE DOWNLOW WITH THE MEVI. If anything you probally lose only a couple torque or hp, but its nothing noticable. But overall I rather do da Mevi for its convient hook up, and extreme hi end pull.

This is just as easily attributed to making LESS power down low as it would be to making more up top. This is the same sort of "feeling faster" that all of the OBD-II track pipe people experienced. Same peak power, less midrange, and thus the car would have a much larger slope in the power band between the midrange and the high RPM range of operation. This is why the butt dyno should never be used. If you are going to try to make more power by messing with sensors, then do so with proper test procedures in place. A wideband to verify the AFR, as well as a timing light to check for any changes to ignition timing from changed load readings, is really required. The before/after tests should also be done on a dyno with the variables as controlled as possible to verify the change in power.

since you have a cali spec your biggest gain is gonna be in your headers and ypipe you can get the ones from ssautochrome that will give you agood gain and if you can do work then get the oovi after looking into it
