APR Oil Catch Can for the MQB EA888 1.8T/2.0T MS100100

Quick Facts:

• Increases performance
  Increases performance by eliminating a common boost leak, and reducing octane lowering oil vapors and airflow restricting carbon buildup.
• Catches oil and gunk
  Oil and gunk pools in the can, not in the intercooler piping.
• Easy to drain
  A simple knob allows the system to drain in seconds without any tools.
• Easy to install
  Installs in minutes. The hoses pop right on without tools thanks to the OEM Norma fittings.
• Easy to maintain
  Yearly maintenance is a snap thanks to the two-piece billet design.
• High-quality hoses
  Resist oil degradation, kinks, abrasion, and blockage from freezing, with an OEM look.
• High-quality can, plate and bracket
  Strong, clean and attractive billet-aluminum and stainless steel parts look right at home in the engine bay.

The Problems

An engine produces extreme pressures within its cylinders during operation and some ultimately slips by the piston rings and pressurizes the engine’s crankcase. This is exacerbated when increasing horsepower and driving harder. To relieve the pressure, the engine uses a PCV system that dumps the pressure, along with oil vapors, back into the intake tract to be consumed by the engine. Unfortunately, this results in the following performance robbing scenarios:

• Oil vapors mix with the air/fuel mixture, which reduces octane and hurts performance.
• Carbon builds up on the back of intake valves, which reduces airflow and hurts performance.
• Messy oil pools in the intake tract and coats the intercooler, leading to hose degradation, and reduced IC effectiveness.

The Solution

The APR Oil Catch Can System traps excessive crankcase oil vapors and gunk from entering the engine while the engine is under load. The system routes crankcase gasses through the APR catch can, which filters oil vapors through a track-proven four-staged baffling system. The vapors pool in the bottom of the can, while the rest of the pressure is diverted back to the intake tract where it’s burned off by the engine.

• A cleaner engine
• Better performance
• Elimination of a possible failure point
