Allard EGR delete and catch tank question FR tdi 150

[markyboy76]

hi

fitted an allard egr delete to my fr 150 tdi. The engine light is on now so gonna get it mapped out. Noticed a fair amount of oil in the intake so gonna fit a catch tank. Any reccomendations on which to get?

Any of the ebay ones will do, i've opted for a carbon fibre one on my new project but on my previous leon i had a black one like this:

You noticed any driving difference with the Allard fitted? Looking at them myself, £52 from ebay doesnt seem a bad price!

Iv already reduced my EGR with the 9mm gasket so just wondered....

A proper designed catch tank needs internal filters or gauzes to filter the oil vapour out of the air. Best catch can on the market i know off is this. http://www.egrvalve.co.uk/index.php?page=universal-crankcase-breather-kit

I like the look of that, am I right in thinking a large can attached to the intake after the MAF would mess up the AF calc? Is that why a filter is better? Some people suffer with smoke after fitment why is that?

I've noticed there are two sizes for the inlet on the can, 9mm and 15mm, is 15mm the one needed for PD130?

The "allards" one is very well designed and does the job it was intended for. I made my own filter system on my Leon using scouring pads and tights

as a follow on to this i recieved my catch can today and i have to say that its really good quality and looks great.

The problem is it cant be used correctly as it cannot be opened to install a filter or any mesh (its all friggin glued!?!)

in short - dont bother buying one of these:

could you not make one of these and use any filter you can get cheaply from a motor factors

i have a Greddy one in house not got round to fitting as the pipework was smaller than suitable for the Pd from memory

I would imagine so Im thinking maybee some foam air filter would do the trick.

a motorcross oil filter or even our own pd 150 oil filter is cheap enough
