Well if you are comparing to the EK vti, then it's pretty much the same except the EK vti is a 1.6L (88kw) instead of 1.5L.

i assumed he meant the eg vti vs eg vei

Get the VTi, or if possible get an Si with the D16A8 DOHC non-VTEC (take this from an EH VTi owner). The DOHC will give you much better power if you're going to mod it, and it's not worth taking the D16Y1 just for the VTEC...

never get the vei... lol
