Suitable core material is crucial here.  The core materials used for RFI 
suppression (including those used for common mode transmitting chokes) 
work by adding lots of loss into the common mode circuit because they 
are VERY lossy at RF.  The core materials used for inductors are very 
different chemical formulations.
