The 4G15 is a very easy motor to work on so I would suggest you build the motor yourself. You will still have to get the machining done by a shop of course but actually putting it all together is very easy.

Performance pistons can be a little hard to source but that's OK since there is an easy option for that. The Hyundai Excel X1 ('86-'89) uses flat-top pistons which brings the CR up to ~10.5:1 and already 'eyebrowed' for a multivalve head (if your going to use the 12v head) and they are readilly available.

The rotating assembly is in desperate need of balancing, as I think little is done at the factory. I noticed a huge difference in my old 4G15 with all the top end harshness disappearing it would rev and make good power all the way to stock rev limit at ~6800rpm.
Hyundai excel x1? is the x1 a normal excel or some other option? I work in a salvage yard with plenty of old excels. What would this car be designated in the U.S.?

Pretty simple really. All i did was cut away the air can except for the part that actually holds the filter in place. Then K&N filtercharger. The tube is aluminum 3" diameter from any 80's volvo turbo. You can find plenty of them in junk yards real cheap. Just cut what you need its about a foot long with a few bends and a straight section.
