If this is STEEL wire wound pvc, then it will likely heat up under the RF 
current.  Also since it is wound around the tubing, this may cause high 
resistance compared to copper tubing.  My suggestion would be to beef up your 
primary cap to allow for a primary coil with fewer turns.  
  Hope this helps.
