I have the two outer holes for the 00vi right but the two inner holes (set farther back line up with my fourth gen lower intake manifold...

the bolts for the 00vi are M6 and the 4th gen loewr are M8...

how can i make the threads in the fourth gen lower able to fit the M6 bolt?

Fill them in and tap them.

Thats what my brother used and its holding fine. He's had his VI for months now with no leaks.

Can't you just use the bolts that was originally holding your IM? That's what I did when I installed my MEVI.. if the 00VI holes are smaller then bore it out. It's easier than filling the holes then drilling and tapping it out for a new thread on the lower manifold. If it's bigger then use a slightly larger washer with the original bolts. Just my .02

I got some M6 Heli coils and threaded those in and ran the stock M6x 130 mm UIM bolts
