As the title, I need to add a 5/8 vacuum fitting to a 4" ID silicone elbow for a PCV connection. It's from my driver's side PCV to the connection between my mass air meter and throttle body on a 2012 GT with a Magnuson supercharger, if you need to picture it.

The 16mm fitting from Revotec looks perfect, but just checking if anyone has seen/used anything else.

Here is a picture of the Revotec self sealing fitting.

How much boost are you running? It would be hard for me to put a fitting in a silicone hose after seeing how much they expand.

It's a positive displacement blower so all of the boost is post throttle body. The fitting will only see vacuum.

I agree otherwise, If the fitting was going to be exposed to boost I'd have concerns too.
