ECS Tuning MK8 GTI/R Baffled Oil Catch Can System

Today's direct fuel injection systems have taken engine performance to a whole new level, but there is a drawback. With no fuel vapors to clean the intake valves, the oil particles that are drawn into the intake from the PCV system will deposit themselves onto the valves and intake ports. Over time this will result in an excessive carbon buildup, resulting in lost power and poor drivability.

ECS Tuning now has the solution with our ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can System. In house engineered, our system is designed to collect toxic blow-by gasses, reduce carbon build up and reduce concentrations of acids, oxidants and water within the engine oil. 

Through multiple design iterations and tested prototypes, extensive long term testing and with the proper understanding of the Evo4 engine's PCV system, we can confidently give you the finest oil catch can system available on the market!

Key benefits of the ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can System:

• Highly Efficient Oil Separator (Catch Can):
  • Strategically positioned 4 chamber baffle system maximizes oil / air separation 
  • Engineered to create multiple changes in the direction of airflow within the separator to cause oil droplets to fall out of suspension before exiting the catch can
  • Knurled and black anodized integrated oil dipstick makes inspecting oil volume of the reservoir clean and simple
  •  Fully serviceable for routine cleaning and maintenance; Includes 2.5mm allen key to remove baffle plates for cleaning
  • -10AN ORB (O-Ring Boss) fittings for leak-free fitting connections
  • 6061-T6 billet machined body, anodized black for lasting protection and appearance
  • Easy to drain reservoir, simply un-threads from the oil separator for quick draining or cleaning 
• The OEM VW fine oil (cyclonic) separator is retained. Due to the retention of this component, the catch can will not have to be emptied as often, as its focus will be on capturing the ultra-fine oil vapor*
• Catch can mounting with thumb screws allow you to easily access the catch can for servicing 
• The factory Venturi hose in the PCV system is required to be trimmed for proper fitment 
• OE style appearance once installed

Design Features:

• 3-piece powder coated, bent sheet metal Catch can bracket that utilizes stock mounting locations, with black zinc coated stainless steel thumb screws to easily attach and detach the catch can for access and servicing

• Heat resistant OEM+ style Nylon brackets thread directly into existing spots on the firewall, designed to securely fit our ECS catch can silicone hoses

• Silicone hoses with strategically sculpted ends fit into the tight areas of the engine, routing cleanly throughout the engine bay

• Includes 18-8 and 304 stainless steel hardware

Product Development:

• Our ECS Tuning Catch Can System  was designed, engineered, tested and quality inspected by our Research and Development team in our Wadsworth, Ohio facility. We strive for the highest level of precision and quality through leading-edge product development technology including FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long term product testing.

INSTALLATION AND SUPPORT

• Looking for installation tips? Look no further, we put together a full installation tutorial from start to finish including! See our Installation PDF under the INSTALLATION Tab for more information. 

*The ECS Baffled Oil Catch Can system was engineered to supplement the already stout OEM PCV system and collect the ultra-fine blow by gases and reduce the ingestion of oil vapors in the turbo inlet pipe. As such, you should not expect to collect mass amounts of fluidin the catch can reservoir as with the previous generation engines.
