which is better and how hard is the installation? from the other threads it seems like the 00vi doesnt line up with the original intake piping route, but the mevi is direct bolt in? and also how would the variable runners be activated if there is no vaccum and only boost with the s/c?

 

This question has been answered before many times. Either donate and search, read the stickies in All Motor which are REALLY OBVIOUSLY LABELED FOR YOUR QUESTION, or read on my website. You have 3 choices, all of which work, 2 of which are no cost to you.

 

no vacuum in an SC car huh...

 

well.. other than the vaccum issue.. and YES ive looked through the stickies. it says 00vi is better than mevi but i couldnt find an article including boosted applications. and also i dont want to reroute my piping.

 

There is no vacuum issue. Think about how air gets from the air filter to combustion chamber. Theres a vacuum in there some where.....

It's all there. NA, boosted, doesn't matter.
If you're going to whine about something that simple, you don't want to be doing an intercooler.

 

im not asking about doing an intercooler. wrong thread. im asking which to go with.. mevi or VI and also didnt mean theres an "issue" with vaccum i mean the vaccum subject aside. as i will just take it fof manifold vaccum.

 

Go with 00VI and be done with it.

I answered your intercooler question not even realizing I was in the wrong thread, too

 

i guess 00vi it is haha. as far as the piping will i have to do any modification to the stillen piping?

 

Assuming you're NOT putting in an intercooler, I don't know enough about the differences between the A32 and A33 Stillen setups. As far as I know it could be a difference in one of the pipes so that it reaches the extra distance

I'll wait for someone who actually knows to chime in...

 

MEVI-plug and play for the most part (only need an additional vacuum solenoid, relay, RPM switch, and Vac can with check valve to make it work), direct bolt on, no change to SC piping, easy install. It was time consuming for me, because I struggled with how the vacuum lines went. Should have been a 1 evening job.

The 00VI is pretty much the opposite, but the payoff is slightly better. And no, the SC piping doesn't line up. Completely different. You would have to fab some stuff to make it work.

 

no fab work needed with the 00vi and sc'er piping. Just buy some silicon piping about a foot. I have a pic of my setup ill post.



cardomain wasnt letting me get the bigger picture but you can see the blue hose things.

 

you seem like you want direct plug n play so you should go with the mevi. that way you can use all your stock parts. the 00VI is just a little bit more power but you wont have to go though any problems.

 

Can't see $hit Captain... need a much bigger pic. Thanks. Please try photobucket or something else.

 

i guess mevi woul dbe the most logical then because i cant afford to have down time.

 

bump should be alittle bigger. If not just right click save as and then zoom in. All you really need to see are the blue hoses. One after the MAFs and then one after the next piece that comes with the stillen kit connecting to throttle body.

 

Is there actually any point in putting a VI on a boosted max? I'm thinking of going turbo, and i'm running the USIM. A VI is only applicable to naturally aspirated applications right?

 

Boosted applications see much larger gains than NA applications do... dynos have been posted.

 

Speaking of which have you put your MEVI back on yet Neal?

 

MEVI, repping with the old skoll style biatch!!!

 

Nope I sold my mevi back almost 3 years ago now.

 

So you're running the USIM and still accomplishing everything you are?
