Couldn't hurt? I just put the original PCV back on. I just avoid heavy throttle in corners now just in case.

Sure, why the fuck not, brah. All it is, is probably just a thicker seal/material and if it works, they can start mass producing them for us that have high hp VW's. It's called trial and error with their R&D team.Are you expecting them to re-engineer a free plate just for you?
I don't think USP has ever made promises regarding aftermarket turbos on these. For obvious reasons, I'd think.
I don't know of any PCV solution on these cars that isn't a wear item for motors over 29 psi. Spulen is at least available as a separate plate. I'm considering just using FCP euro for OE BL PCV, though when those fail from high boost the oil isn't just on the top :/
OEM is a wear item but these aftermarket ones are supposed to last a lot longer than the OEM crap.

Trial and error is no good, it's called an "iterative design process"
Heh. If they actually did this, people would immediately complain about "using customers as beta testers."
Have you tracked down the leak? It seems like it's usually the seal between the main part of the plate and the outlet? Mine had a spot of oil a couple months ago but never showed up again. Going to tear it apart eventually but seems to be working fine atm.

Do you mean the apr full catch can?
Granted I don't have an issue at 23psi, but been considering a dyno tune to get the most out of all the money spent on hpfp, ethanol sensor, hpa upgraded is38 etc

Once I get a second, correction, third plate and swap them out, then I will take it apart to see what failed.
I'm not going to buy another whole system. I'm just looking for the plate and so far I haven't found a vendor that just has the APR plate for sale.

Have you tried speaking with APR directly. They have sold me parts separately from a complete setup before.

I'll give it a shot to see what they say.

I spoke to APR yesterday and they said that they will sell me just the plate but their systems are down right now and I should try calling back this Friday.

In my spare time, what little I have, last night I installed a fuel pressure gauge onto my fuel pressure regulator and used VCDS to adjust my LPFP Actual Pressure up to 6.3 bar, which is around 92.5 psi, because it was a bit low. After initially setting it with VCDS, making adjustments is easy with the FPR and having a gauge right there just makes it even easier.

Idle pressure? Why not just use the rail pressure sensor?

Yes. Ed wanted me to set it to 90 psi. I can monitor it with the AP when driving but if making any kind of adjustments, I'll do it using the FPR.,
Why are you not running a boost reference? It would lower in vacuum and raise whatever boost you are running.
