There is a hack like this for Honda's I've seen (I posted it up once). It apparently works well for lowering pressure in the crackcase. I think it would work really well if you pared that up with the check-valve thingies you posted about last year. That way you should always get a vacuum in your crackcase at any throttle opening (N/A, of course, and stock, non-SVT, manifold), especially if you did both things.
