If you buy the ebay intercooler kit make sure you get the reinforced couplers, otherwise They will blow out every time you drive the car (I know been there done that). Also you will need to add in another $60-70 for the pieces you will need to order extra. I used 2 or 3 extra 90 degree angles, and one 45.

Well You didn't have the junk ones they sell. I blew everyone one out. They are junk the 3 ply reinforced couplers are the only ones that work well. The rubber cheap ones are junk.

Slightly off topic, but how close is the exhaust flange from a 4g63 head to a dohc neon head? Maybe just be a matter of drilling and tapping from the bolts, but I recall the ports being larger. Have any pictures of what you have so far? I have a 4g63 turbo with 90k on it. Great condition, but no use for it.
