Taco project (taking parts donations)

Alright guys here are the pics as promised please don't judge me by the shotty primer paint job I know it looks terrible but I want to get this thing perfect inside before I begin the outside. So this intake was built using a 70mm aluminum tubing I bought off eBay from China. I drilled a hole in it and used a nylon theaded plumbing fitting for the iacv hose. I just used an electrical box nut on the inside of the pipe to hold the fitting in and siliconed around it. Only reason I didn't use a regular grommet with the elbow is because I feel like the rubber would wear and not create a good enough seal and would cause a vacuum leak eventually. The first boot to the intake is an air box boot from a 2jz that was in a gs Lexus. The boot connecting the air box is off of a Kia or Hyundai suv I really don't remember the model exactly which sucks bc I'll need it if this boot ever tears (Fingers crossed). And the elbow boot is the one off of the Chevy Impala I do believe. Where it connects to the MAF I had to heat and stretch it a little but she fit. I also had to plug two holes. A smaller one on top and one on the bottom that was larger. I just used the second smallest sized rubber plug from ace hardware(it's in the bulk section). And then on the bottom I used a 3/4" plastic barbed plug from Lowes(plumbing section). They both were great. I built an aluminum mounting bracket to support the weight and mounted it at the elbow. I'm planning to do the deck plate mod, but let me know what you guys think. And I'd be happy to help if it's something one of you wants to do. Thanks again!

Digging the intake, but if you are worried about it failing at the couplers, why not keep a lookout for a stock 2/3rz intake?

Didn't want the resonators. I actually still had my old one from my t100 but tossed it.
