Can someone explain the MK7.5 and 7.5’s pcv magic?

[Keehs360]

I’m able to get bits and pieces here and there when I google but I’m still left wanting for more information.

Is that round thing on to of the motor (American driver side) an air oil separator? If not, how is it that the valves don’t get gunky?

I read the mishi blog posts when they were creating a catch can and failed to really get anything in it. So I wonder, if the stock system is so good why do folks remove it and put in catch cans?

thanks!

The valves do get gunky "carbon".

I did search here but I can’t seem to find info on what the round thing is and how it works. I swear it looks like an air oil separator

and yeah man. What a contested topic it is! Holy crap

I put a catch can in due to extreme cornering loads dumping a lot of oil in the intake. On the street, nothing goes in the catch can.

That makes sense. In the past I’d dump my catch can after every track day. In the winter I did it every 1k miles due to condensation

They do. But not as quickly as, and with less performance detriment than, the MK6. Not sure if that’s a good point or comparison, because the MK6’s buildup was so bad you could call it a design flaw

I get about 1 ounce of blowby in my catch can per every 1000 street driven miles.

But you also deleted the round thingy right? Wth is that exactly? And I wonder, would it have been impossible for you to put the catch can in line with that round thing?

The Spulen OCC does delete the factory PCV valve but it basically still serves the same function except that the liquids (blowby) are diverted to the catch can and the vapor is still funneled into the intake manifold.

I see. What is the round thingy exactly? It looks like an air oil separator to me.

Oh jeez not again.

How many times do we have to tell Jimbo that the stock pcv performs as good or better than his $600 pcv that puts the stuff in a can versus back in the oil pan?

I'll never believe it so please don't waste your time. I don't want that black gunk back in my oil pan. If you like it so much and think it's fine I have a big coffee can full of it that I could send to you to put in your oil.

This is what the entire PCV plate looks like from the bottom.
