90 degree aluminum elbow

I thought there was a single turbo section where I would have put this. Oh well.

I'm looking for a specific 90 degree aluminum elbow that would go between the turbo and IC piping. This one has one end that is longer, like 10" or something, and it's a pretty tight radius. I cannot remember where I saw this thing but I can picture it in my head. I thought I saw it on RHDJapan but I looked there with no luck. Oh well, if anyone knows please show me. Thanks!

If I can't find that one I guess I'll just get a tight radius 90 degree elbow and weld another longer piece on one end. I need the elbow to be no taller than 3" from the edge of one end to the top of the opposite side, not sure if that makes sense haha, and I need 2.5" diameter. I've found all kinds of 2.5" diameter 90 degree elbows but I'm not sure if they are short enough to fit under my strut bar and I'd like to find the one with a long end if possible.

THE 90 degree bends I have used are fairly long but when I needed a short 90 as the one on my sec turbo air intake pipe,used to replace the thin restriction at the turbo on the stock pipe, I used a CAST alum 90 elbow .It is 4 or 5 inches long and thicker than the other tubes so it is easy to weld .

Yeah all, or most anyway, of the ones that I've seen are cast aluminum and I believe the one I'm looking for is too. I just wish I could remember where I saw it. I can picture it in my mind and I can almost picture the webpage even, I just can't find the damn thing haha.
