Try the bend with a longer piece of sprue, then cut it off, you don't have to use a piece just long enough. Make it easy on yourself so you have something to grip with.

Also if you want to smooth out the turbo sides without having to sand them so they look perfectly round, as you bend the sprue around the pipe, pull it slightly so that it stretches.

You might have to use a bit larger sprue than normal because the diameter will shrink when you do this, but it will be perfectly smooth when your done with no modification!
