Default Oil feed. T4 onto 4x4 head help!

I need a oil feed hose for my T4 turbo. Bother is there isn't much room for the 90 bend between the head an turbo. So it has to be quite trim. The standard 4x4 hose fits the connection but is too short. I'd buy one of these ones with the filter included but dont know if the bend will be tight enough to fit etc. Anyone have a solution for me?

thanks

Feeds from where your standard pressure switch is under the inlet.

There's an adaptor that screws into your block for oil pressure switch, a 2wd adaptor has a oil feed take off.
