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.

....

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

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?
