Default throttle body intake elbow - 4" inlet to stock throttle body oval?

95 T/A Procharger, twin intercooler pipes join at top of radiater into 4" outlet 4" to 3.5" silicone reducer to stock MAF. 3.5" to 4" siliconne elbow into throttle body.
have a 58mm BBK oval shaped throttle body.
4" hose fits nicely over it with 4" turbo clamp.
See picture.
I'm changing to 4" MAF - so....

need alum or steel elbow with stock throttle body opening shape, hard 90 degree bend to 4" round inlet from MAF

can't use the common silicone 4" elbow because I need to put my meth injection nozzle right after the MAF and the IAT sensor by the throttle body inlet. need welded bungs for these. Unless someone has a strong way to put sensors throuch a silicone elbow?

can't use a round 4" alum elbow because can't adapt it to the oval shape of the throttle body within space limits.
Anyone seen this done?
compact 4" round elbow 90 degree into oval throttle body?

I have this 4" round 90 degree - but would need to look like my painted area at the throttle body side - oval and closer to the bend

yes, but it is 3.5" at the MAF inlet side

I had a Granatelli cast elbow once, had to cut it, it also had 3.5" MAF inlet.
Other thing, it was too small for me at the throttle body opening - the opening had a divider, and the oval size was smaller than the throttle body opening - poor flow

I think spinetech has oval elbows that could work for you.
