On my ‘55, I found that mid size trucks, IHC, Navistar, etc., with 466 etc., engines, have elbows that fit 4”, 5”, 6”, 7” turbos, piping and air filter housings. Real handy without having to reinvent the wheel. Find an appropriate size wrecking yard. Picture shows 6bt in my ‘55.

Just a note that I have moved your post to the The HiPo Shop as the topic better fits into that forum.

You can buy those from a good plumbing supply house like Fergeson in the sizes you mention including adapter elbows with different diameter ends. They're usually made by Fernco and colloquially referred to as such.

Intake plumbing under pressure requires it. i.e., after turbos, etc.
AND sometimes some additional help. A trick I've used on my Diesel is some liquid laundry detergent on the connections. A light smear dries up and glues them together.
