Title: Which PCV fix?
Post by: George on December 31, 2011, 05:56:02 pm

Hi all,

One of the first things I want to do to my Edition 30 prior to Revo Stage 1 is to fix the PCV before it develops a fault. I've seen various suggestions such as BSH, Forge and the OEM "G" Version. I would prefer a fix similar to the BSH and Forge where a catch tank is involved.

Which is the best fix?

Thanks   :happy2:

If you have the cash go with Forge...

Ive had the bsh revamp fix and currently have the bsh catch can. I have not had any issues with poor mpg with either and I am Shark stage 2 at the moment. The throttle response improved slightly with both but I havent experienced any negatives from either product.

Any other opinions on Forge or BSH PCV Fix / catch can?

Thanks

Those are the only two that allow you to use the catchcan with the charcoal cannister in situ.

I still can't decide between:

BSH PCV Fix http://www.bshspeedshop.com/bshstore/products/BSH-2.0T-FSI-PCV-Revamp.html
BSH Street Catch Can  http://www.bshspeedshop.com/bshstore/products/BSH-%252d-VW-FSI-Street-Catch-Can-.html
BSH Compeition Catch Can  http://www.bshspeedshop.com/bshstore/products/BSH-%252d-FSI-Competition-Catch-Can-.html
Forge Catch Can http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/content.asp?inc=product&cat=260309&product=FMMK5CTC

Ideally it would be the forge, but I can't justify £340!

I would just change it for the latest revision of OEM PCV

That is an option, but I'd much prefer to route the oil vapour to a can rather than let it combust  :sick:

I'm attending the Autsport show next weekend and noticed Forge are going to have a stand there, so I called them earlier and they quoted me a show price that has tempted me enough to bite the bullet :)
