Some say yes some say no. The do fill up with crap but some engine builders when stripping engines down still say the head is gunked up catch cans or not.
I personally would fit one if i planned to keep the car forever if not i wouldn't bother.  :driver:

In all honestly the TFSI Works fine (as was designed to) with the OEM PCV. Most people have ditched PCV fixes and catch cans and bought the latest revision part no PCV and said the car runs better than ever  :happy2:

The bsh block off piece will fit on to the end of the forge boost tap though it's a tight fit as that's what I have on my car.  :smiley:
