You're joking, right? I found them online for $35, which is fine for a part I'm going replace once a year, if that. The cleaner from the yard came with a pretty fresh looking Mahle filter in it.

I've lined everything up and it looks like the best route is to cut the elbow on the can that goes to the turbo inlet, and run a 2 1/2" hose straight from the bottom of the can to the turbo. I might also be able to use the stock hose by turning it sideways and fabricating an extension from the PCV hose to the nipple on the stock 2 1/2" hose.
