Hose between intercooler n’ turbo

Hi guys,
I need advice, I'm looking for a hose between inter poker and turbo.
The ideal would be with a rigid hose style stainless pipe large diameter straight and a sleeve elbow at each end in Silicon.
Or another solution already share with you.
Thank you for your help.
Jérôme

I have not been on here in a long time. my car was modified to use rigud 2"pipes. There are 2 J shaped. I recently had to replace one - it was not easy, as flanging the bend end was near impossible. If you want pics of the pipe I had, and replacement send me a pm with an e-mail address.

Just to clarify, you do not want the original hose, which is still available from S J Sportscars.
And you do not want the Samco hose pictured in your post. Also still available.

It would also be helpful to state your location. Makes finding parts and offering help a lot easier. It can be added in the control panel at the top when logged in.

Just noticed you posted your request back in May. Very unusual for replies to take so long to appear.

Hi! Please do give a little info on your car and yourself - we're a friendly group :)

Smaug (my Elan) wears a custom intercooler and uses a setup similar to what you've described: two 90° silicone elbows and an aluminum pipe between. It should be possible to build something similar out of parts from ebay or Amazon. I've been thinking this would be a great place to "stealth" boost dump valve, to keep the intake looking stock but add the benefit of a compressor bypass valve to keep the turbo spinning during shifts.
