Stainless Steel Intake

Hi all,
I've included a pic of my stainless steel intake to the turbo (low pressure side). I did this mainly because over the years, the crankcase ventilation had continued to dump oil mist into the intake and eventually the oil destroyed the rubber. Also the oil loweres octane rating and I didn't want that either so I did away with the crankcase venting into the intake altogether.
IngredientsL
A chrome exhaust tip - 3 inch into a 2.5 inch (the turbo inlet is 2.5 and the AMM is 3)
A foot of 3 inch stainless steel tube (not pipe, a tube is measured by external diameter, a pipe is internal). I got mine as an offcut from a stainless steel business - $5. Don't go to exhaust shops, all the ricers want anything that is stainless and the operaters know this and wanted to charge me $20 for an offcut!!!
2.5 inch and 3 inch rubber hose. Don't need the expensive turbo hose as the low pressure side doesn't see those kind of temperatures that make the turbo hose a necessity.
