Default Intake plenum-throttle angle

Kind of weird question....
I builded an Locost 2 years ago and now i'm changing V6 engine with 20VTurbo one(mid-engined project).
In order to use as short turbo piping as possible and due to FMIC fitting issues(actually it will be RMIC because the cooler will be fitted behind me) it will be great if i can point the throttle in different angle. I plan to cut the yellow marked section(picture below), reweld it and move it away from the head.......
But......the pressured air makes 90 degree turn when pass the throttle and into the plenum. I'm sure that manufacturer did make some calculation when designing turbo intake system.
Will change in this angle make any difference in air quantity for 5th cylinder for example?
It will be even better for me if i turn TB 90 degree to point straight into the plenum. But will i mess the air flow badly?
