Default Need to change compressor outlet direction...

Is there any way I can change the direction of my compressor outlet? Is there a company that has T3 outlets that point the direction I want? I'm using a T3 from a Chrysler 2.2L that has been moedified to fit a new Turbonetics wheel.
If I can mod the housing, how would I do it? Could I have a heavy gauge/sched tube/pipe welded onto the housing?
If I need to replace the housing, anyone have suggestions for the best place to find a new one that will meet my specs? Thanks.
I have included a rough digram to help explain my intentions...

I guess I could do a straight outlet, but the turn would be better. The comp side is on the passenger side and the outlet dumps straight into my radiator... I could put a 2" ID 90 deg elbo on the end of it, but it would be extremely close to both the manifold and the radi. A straight outlet would help, but it would still present problems with the radi getting in the way. Any suggestions on pipe routing to fix the situation without hitting the radi?

Well, it doesn't seem like I have too many options... I really don't like when that happens, so I'm going to play around with it until something works.
I dropped it off at a local machine shop to have it modded. I'll post pics of the finished product.
