Does anybody have a catch tank on their gti.. i used to have a punto turbo which had the tank to catch all theoil that built up in the breather system.. i was amazed at what was being recirculated thru my engine...

Yes, the BSH Stage 2 PCV fix is a catch can.
-
Thanks for that.. is it worth adding to mine even tho i dont have a remap

Yes, it's a useful mod to keep your motor running at it's best...

My question is; does it actually help reduce the carbon deposit build-up?

It does reduce the deposits that form on the intake valves due to oil vapour recurcilation if that's what you are refering to...

Where can i get one from guys & is it dificult to install?
-
Unfortunately it's not cheap and only one manufacturer produces the kit. Additionally you'll have to order it from the US and pay UK custom charges.

I assume that installing the BSH will result in the stock engine cover no longer fitting.

Thanks for that mate.. that price is crazy.. at the end of the day its just a tank.. will the ones of ebay be suffice?
-

No!
You need some way to vent the pcv vapours and the kit does this by including a specially machined plate that replaces the oem pcv and has the necessary venting holes.
If you could find a cheap and suitable way of replacing the oem pcv with something similiar, then you could use any other catch can you want from ebay.

It can be made to fit with a little modifcation of the stock air box.
You could try the fitting method Ukdub has used or use an alternative like below.

What about if i wanted to vent to atmosphere.. would this be possibloe without the need for an additional plate.. there must be a send & recieve valve.. could i not just block the recive valve and use a silicon hose from the send valve & then vent to atmosphere

Take a read of this: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4387972
Maybe that could be incorporated into some sort of vent to atmosphere? Otherwise I know BSH is working on a racing catch can that vents to the atmosphere.

Thanks for the link mate... very interesting read... im looking at simply running a hose from the pcv down to the bottom of the car to get rid of the excess oil. Any ideas if not using a vacuum to eliminate the crankcase gases would cause a problem. I ran this setup on my putno & it worked fine

....That's nice of you! Oil on the road - A very responsible and considerate action! :rolleyes:
And please don't try and tell me that it's a negligable amount - Try telling that to the cyclist or motorbiker who goes down on a roundabout and then gets crushed by the truck behind (as happened to a friend I once knew).

Fair play.. what if i were to route the oil to a tank then.. would the lack of vacuum for the crankcase gasses cause a problem?
