hi

A 2.5" silicone fits nicley onto the t/b if squashed on.
I used a 2.5" 90 and cut it on an angle to achive a greater than 90 degree bend and a dip out of the sides makes it fit nug up against the t/b.
As I used 2.25" piping needed the end flaired to 2.5" to match the silicone.

Why not construct an air to water intercooler?

The inlet piping will be shorter for better throttle response, plus you can absorb 3 times more heat into liquid than you can air.

I constructed one for my cordia as seen below:
