Default boost hose help

hope someone can help me, i have bought a set of hoses for the big turbo model escos, fine, fitted perfectly to the standard car with inter/chargecooler.
ive replaced my intercooler with and airtec one, the turbo to intercooler hose doesnt fit.........
the hose needs to be longer and less angled if that makes sense.
im sure i can be the only person who has come across this issue, the intercooler is brand new but i fear is saph 4x4 rather than escos?
i have fitted everything up and just need the hose.
any help greatly appreciated
chris

Can't you buy some bits from demon tweets to take up the difference?

It's a Sierra intercooler, The Escort ones have different angles on the pipes IIRC
