Default Turbo Manifold Question

Hello everyone, Im new to the forum I have an 04 Neon SXT. I recently purchased an '05 stock SRT-4 Turbo with manifold and piping from ebay. I've been told that the stock Srt4 manifold will not fit my SXT, i found this out after purchasing the parts. Can someone help me out wiht this? If this is true what choices do i have? I want to be able to use the stock turbo.

Correction for above...

Mattdog = manfiold adaptor plates

Maddog = sweet short throw shifters

And yes it is $216 shipped with four gaskets.

I want to know what he means by "piping"...because if he's talking about the IC piping, i hope he knows it wont fit properly and he's going to chop it up...if he's talking about the oil/water lines he's going to need to modify the stock lines or get some SS lines and fittings...

for me the stock hot side piping worked fine. but I had too lose the tranny brace bracket also had too reloacate the ps cooler. the cold side is pretty easy too do 2 90deg elbows and piece of pipe about 12 in long and you are golden

can you make intercooler miping out of another material that you can get at like a home depot or something it might be ghetto but if it works why not

Well for hotside i think you need metal piping...but for coldside you can use any material you want. Take the SRT-4 stock piping for example, hotside piping is a metal and coldside is a rubber composite piping.
