where do you plumb your catch tank into

[p34ch3y]

have done a search but cant find that more clearly

any pics of this would be grate

 

[h17och]

it replaces the black valve on tip (looks like a DV but not one)

so instead of it running to that, run it to the tank and put a filter on other side of tank and blank off the tip

 

[Black TDI Turbo]

Is there any real reason for doing this tho or just tarting up the engine bay thing?

 

[h17och]

removes oil from the intake system...stops intercooler and pipes gunking up

 

[p34ch3y]

yea i know that u have to block that bit off on the tip but where do the pipe from the catch tank go to?

like i said pics would be good

 

[StanTheMan]

Take off the mushroom you remove from the tip, and the pipe left goes into the tank.

 

[h17och]

like i said mate it replaces the black DV looking thing...really not that hard mate

 

[h17och]

a frsh pic just taken

see tank in front of filter

 

[p34ch3y]

o right i thought that there were two hoses comein out of them

Phil's:

Not sure where the other pipe goes to though........

 

[p34ch3y]

would that other pipe on the right go to where the mushroom valve used to be?

 

[PhilW]

Mine goes to atmos down in the wing.

I also blanked the connection under the inlet manifold.

 

[p34ch3y]

phil have you any pics of this please m8

 

[p34ch3y]

so basicly the one on the left into the tee thing lets call it and the other pipe basicly just vents ,is that right?

Bill's run's off the rocker cover:

mine runs off both front breather block, no PCV fitted at all, no connection from inlet manifold to breather systen on mine. There's a T piece you cant see by cyl 3/4 which joins the pipe from the rocker cover.
my catch tank with filter breather also has drain pipe in its base back to sump. (SEAT Sport baffled sump)

made for me by Forge Motorsport

 

[PhilW]

Mines the same as above without the drain pipe back to sump.

what is a pcv

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation valve (PCV) is an emissions control device that routes unburned crankcase blowby gases back into the intake manifold where they can be reburned. The PCV system is one of the oldest emission control devices, and also one of the most beneficial. Besides totally eliminating crankcase emissions as a source of air pollution, the constant recirculation of air through the crankcase helps remove moisture which otherwise would cause sludge to form. Thus the PCV valve extends the life of the oil and engine. The PCV valve requires little maintenance.

The PCV valve is the thing that looks a bit like a dv - plugged into your tip. Take off the PCV valve and connect the pipe it was on to the catch tank. Connect a small filter to the outlet on your catchtank (or connect to the TIP),

Interesting article on PCV valves on Wiki.

Makes me wonder if the valve should be kept, then plumbed into catch tank then back to inlet manifold.
