Classic - fit front entry turbo pipework?

Classic - fit front entry turbo pipework?
1995 classic wagon, has fitted a TD05/06 20G turbo etc. Also 10mm manifold insulator spacers.
This turbo is front entry, but this age of classic used 90 degree entry. I made up with samco and ally pipe an inlet to the turbo but it bends a lot.
I want to fit a straighter front entry inlet pipe, like the later cars had.
What's the usual / best way?
Do I need 20mm spacers instead / as well?
Does the later manifold help - is it a bit higher ( so not need bigger spacers ? )
What inlet pipe do I need / shoud I look for - only recirc dump valve return goes into inlet now, breathers etc. diverted.
How do I move the power steering reservoir out of the way and still work?
Proven ideas / methods and any part numbers most welcome!
A local garage was going to use a smaller bore metal pipe joined ( by silicone hose ) to turbo inlet under the manifold to avoid lifting or replaceing manifold and avoid PS reservoir - would this work? Would 50mm pipe be OK for 68 mm inlet to turbo?
Sorry for so many questions, getting really confused!
