need 90 degree turbo coolant line

If any of the "coolant hose" you've bought isn't fabric reinforced don't use it... you're just going to end up making water balloons. I've seen a lot of crap kits pushing vacuum hose as coolant hose or trying to pass vinyl off as silicone (which then melts); There is a difference and it's much bigger in real life than it is on paper.

At any rate, I don't know of any reliable suppliers selling silicone hose for cooling applications smaller than 1" in diameter. If the company who made your kit is reliable I recommend you contact them; It shouldn't be a big deal for them to sell you a few inches of scrap.

No sooner than I speak do I find a link to a company who appears to have it:
