Default Temporary heater hose as return line from turbo

OK had a problem with the hose and I now have a heater hose returning the oil to the pan. Probably not a good idea but I need to get home tonight and take it to the shop to have it done right. The hose is only about 6 inches long. Think it will be safe?

I don't think it's under any sorta pressure. It's 3/4 inch and the oil line going to the turbo looks like only 1/4 inch.

I used it for a while. I just had to train it with hose clamps because it had a tendensy to kink a little on me.
