PCV System
« on: 29 March 2010, 12:47 »
Hi all,

Had the car remapped (finally!) at R-Tech on sat, what a difference! Anyway i'm down on power a little bit (AUM - ran 190bhp) and the cause of my boost leak is down to the good old PCV system  :angry:

I've had a look through related topics using the search but was wondering if anyone could do a screendump of ETKA on the PCV system (all the stupid little pipes and y-piece etc) so i can get my head around the system and what i'm replacing and how. Would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

Matt.

i had a leak from the pcv system and most of the parts to replace add up to around £120 as Ry says i'd be inclined to fit a catch can and get rid of all that crap tbh thats what i ended up doing well worth it!

I am tempted by a catch can too, as I am sure that is my reason for being down slightly on power. Are they easy to fit for a complete novice?

Yeah I would appreciate that. Its on the end of the list though as performance isn't too much of an issue at the moment and economy is still pretty good.

Yeah got that in ages ago. Just won a new lid for it on ebay this weekend, so the top will match my interior now. All in all, a decent armrest for under £30  :cool:
