If you have the one like I originally had, it is solid and obviously wouldn't work without some modification. I went to the dealership and asked for the fitting that is used in a truck that uses that port for vacuum brakes (it's basically just a plastic tube with a collar about in the middle).

And in case you don't know (I couldn't get it at first), to get the plastic fitting out of the intake, the small red collar must be depressed to the intake and then the fitting can slide.

Hope that helps some.
