oempartsonline wanted my car's VIN before shipping, I had to message them and ask they JUST SEND THE DAMN PART. Now I have a tracking number lol.

Understanding the MK7 PCV function, retrofitting the MK8 PCV, and why catch cans are bullshit(IMO)

That's weird. I think it's an optional entry. Didn't have to put one

Yea, I left it blank when I made the order...then I was wondering why it hadn't shipped yet and found an email in my inbox asking for my VIN.
Nice work on this! Just ordered everything, hopefully can run it at watkins in a month.
Looking fwd to 034 TMD results as well, interested in going that route if it improves things further.
What’s the ID of the (removed) hose? Gonna order the right fitting for it along with the TMD.

E-acca is offering them for 106 EUR which is about USD 116 but doesn't include shipping and will take some time to reach

Samerrrrr! I am so sorry, friend.
If I'd known, I would have had you bring this to the shop and I'd knock it out with you in short order.
It would have been a great opportunity for both of us (since I'm too broke to do any further car upgrades until 2024, I could have lived and learned this one through you!)
Plus I STILL have never ridden in your setup (IS38 on coilovers).
Call or text me if you ever need car help, and I'll do anything I can to get you fixed up.
Even if I'm unavailable for some reason, I can usually steer you to the right people (if it's here in Cen-Tex).
Tony (Derhase) is also fantastic if you reach out to him via FB Messenger.

Might still take you up on it as I still haven't done it.
Normally have Brink do everything, but I like to do little things as a stepping stone.
Of course I have the terrible trifecta of:
Analysis paralysis
OCD
Procrastination
Not a good combination for fixing stuff
Edit: just let me know and we can meet at Like Creek. Usually free during the morning

I have been having an issue with sucking oil into the intake tip through the PVC (with the BL revision) and I even have a small puddle of oil on top of the valve cover. So I ordered everything on the list to see if this alleviates the issue. I've been sitting at my 36psi map for about 2k miles.

I'd be very interested to see the results of the mk8 PCV on the 2.0T, personally I'm not heavily modified BUT I'm curious about it as preventative maintenance/an OEM+ upgrade to avoid headaches down the line.

I'll be curious how it works on a bigger turbo.
I've had it installed for a while now with initial results being good at an autocross. Might be easier to unpack everything here:

I wonder if the purpose of the sensor port to throw a code when the PVC starts to fail.I'll be curious how it works on a bigger turbo.

From what I understand, that's exactly what it's for. I wonder if there were some MK7/7.5 engine failures under warranty that could have been prevented if PCV failure were detected sooner. For example: check valve #1 failure can pressurize the crankcase under boost, but would be undetectable at idle and wouldn't set any CELs, etc. I imagine aside from leaks, it would have the potential to gum up the rings leading to even further oil/compression loss.
That would be a great feature to have instead of guessing. I wonder if we can code that in?

Any pics of where you’re pushing out the oil, I’m curious.
Up top: where the PVC hose connects to the PVC to the inlet. I've had 2 hoses connected seems to get by the O ring nonetheless. just annoying having oil up there.
