I was looking at some stuff, and was wondering if a brass plug could be threaded into PVC and used for a vacuum fitting? Would it stay put, or come out.
PVC pipe and brass plug for intake

PVC will harden and crack.
it would stay and hold a certain degree of pressure.
if your talking about using it for like a shop vac i wouldnt have any problem using that at all

Attach a cone filter on one side, and use the plug for a vacuum line. I got it tapped, and I just need to see if I can get the small end to fit into the stock rubber.

Get CPVC. It's good to 200F+ (at substantial pressure) You're doing intake plumbing ..so you may be okay. The stuff is formed at like 250F max ..where it's molten. Hot water PCV lines will sag if not supported well enough.
It's a shame you have all the weird issues with repair shops in Japan. An exhaust shop here could make any length/shape you need ..and expand the pipe to fit whatever size you needed very easily. That and a can of spray paint (not really needed with current tubing stock)...and you're good to go

It may not be as bad as I make it out to be, but I don't have access, or know how to get to it, then whether I can or not doesn't really matter.
I tried to file the PVC down with a potato peeler, and got it down, but it's still just to small to get into the hose. Next will come a potato peeler on the intake hose, or maybe the belt sander at school. COuldn't find a smaller pipe. The one i have is a 40, and I need a 35. The ID on the 40 pipe is almost the OD on the intake pipe. I will try a bigger store on Monday, and see if I can find the 35 reducer. Wanted it less for the cone filter, but more to be able to mount a water injection nozzle in the top of the cone filter to help reduce my IATs.
