Either use a Saff metal pipe with your thermostat housing or fit a thermostat housing from a big turbo Escort and get a silicon u bend pipe from roose

You can see in this pic that the big T thermostat housing has the outlet pointing in the opposite direction to allow the water to flow to the chargecooler

I took a length of silicone from 2wd housing and went the long route.
