TECHNICAL DETAILS

To prevent crankcase oil fumes from condensing and filling your turbo piping, intercooler, and intake manifold, a catch can is a must for your new MK7 EA888 GEN 3 TSI engine. A catch can works well to gather all of the oil fumes that are omitted from the valve cover breather, removing the faulty factory oil separator in the process. This not only removes the oil mist that is found everywhere but will greatly help reduce carbon buildup on the intake valves, a common problem on TSI engines, which relates to power loss and poor drivability. Our kit includes the necessary valve cover breather adapter to remove the separator and plumb the catch can using the two included -10AN hoses. Using our catch can kit, you are not required to remove any of the emissions systems or vent the catch can to the atmosphere, which can cause oil mist build-up in your engine bay. Our breather plate simply installs in place of the factory plastic breather plate located on top of the valve cover, while the catch can mounts to a custom bracket easily accessible on the passenger side of the vehicle.


In order to keep the factory breather system fully functional, we have designed a billet breather plate with a complex baffle system, which works effectively to keep oil out of the lines, while still allowing the crankcase to breathe through the catch can. This plate directly replaces the PCV valve on the top side of the valve cover, with all necessary provisions for the OEM hoses that connect to it.

This kit uses the Integrated Engineering billet recirculating catch can, which features our state-of-the-art baffle system to catch the oil mist and not let it pass back into the turbo inlet. This flawless catch can is fully serviceable, easily disassembling if needed. Draining the catch can is simple with the use of the included T handle drain valve- simply unbolt the single bolt holding the can and open the valve to drain the liquid out. This beautiful piece is finished with a bright black anodize finish, which maintains a stealthy appearance while looking great in your engine bay.

INCLUDED WITH KIT

Everything you need to upgrade the PCV system on your EA888 GEN 3 engine is included with this kit, with a very simple installation that takes less than an hour to install on average. This kit allows the use of the factory engine cover if desired, and the entire install is completely reversible if it ever needs to be removed for any reason.

  • Billet recirculating catch can
  • Valve cover breather adapter
  • Perfect-fit braided Nylon hoses
  • All necessary adapter fittings
  • All necessary mounting hardware

FITMENT NOTES

REQUIRES FACTORY STYLE ENGINE MOUNTS
This IE catch can kit uses a secure mount on the OE engine mount bracket to secure the catch can. Many aftermarket motor mounts delete this mounting location and will require you to custom mount the catch can itself. If you are running aftermarket motor mounts, please verify if you have the mounting provision before purchasing.

COLD WEATHER CLIMATES 

Catch can kits are designed for warm weather climates only. If you live in an area with sub-freezing temperatures in winter months, extra precaution must be taken as condensation in the catch can and lines can freeze and cause pressure to build up in the crankcase. We recommend checking the contents of the catch can frequently or removing the system entirely during cold winter months. Integrated Engineering is not responsible for any damage caused by improper servicing of the catch can.

Simple and Clean

I installed this Kit on my 2020 GLI 2.0. Everything was bolted and lined up perfect. Its pretty much the exact same motor and engine bay as the GTI. Took me about an hour and a half to finish up. I am happy with the product and the look it adds to the motor. cant wait to clean it for the first time and see how much it catches. **only difference was the PCV line was a little further apart then the GTI PDF instructions showed but the provided line replacement was plenty long to cut and fit. Very happy.

Good Kit but screws too short

Installed this catch can kit and all the short screws included will not make it past the plate to grab the engine but if you swap bolts on nearby hose and harness mounts you will get around this issue but just needs slightly longer screws to install plate All in all everything else is well fitting as described

Poor performance on my IS38 GTI

Bought this after seeing the billowing exhaust from a high boost tune on my stock PCV setup. The IE catch can has halted the exhaust problem but not oil in the turbo inlet elbow nor oil collecting in the hot side charge pipe. There is so much oil collecting in the inlet elbow that it leaks out the elbow past the o-ring and down the engine block, dripping onto cardboard I've placed under the GTI.

When I have taken the hot side charge pipe off the IC there is oil dripping out of the IC hose and the interior of the hose is coated in oil. Also the hot side end tank on the IC has oil collecting in it. There's enough oil in the charge air piping that it also collected on the cold side piping and I need to clean that out occasionally.

I've tried emptying the catch can regularly but it takes only a single drive to have oil collecting again in the inlet piping. Had a few messages back and forth with IE customer support that went nowhere. The IE catch can looks well built and fits nicely, but does not function as I had expected.
