If you are just trying to smooth out the readings on a vacuum gauge, you might just try a restriction by the engine side of the hose so that the hose itself acts as an "accumulator". Don't put something together that the engine can injest. Maybe a bit of dowel rod shoved in the hose that you drill out progressively till you are happy with the readings.
