Opinions on PCV deletes?
Im thinking of doing a PCV delete on my A4 but have been seeing different ways to do it from leaving stock PCV and adding a catch can to using a kit similar to the ECS PCV delete kit. There are lots of people saying that PCV delete with a catch can doesnt do anything and causes oil to get into the turbo and there are others saying that the ECS style delete with no catch can is the same. On the contrary ive also read much like what Haya has said that they work well and help quite a lot. What are your opinions and experiences with these kits? And would it be beneficial for me to instal one of these kits?

Jbl, they are all pretty much the same. If unsure buy a high-priced one and also buy a cheap one. When in hand compare them. Then send the least desirable one back.
This is what I do. Amazon is great, I've never been denied a return for refund. Typically, I'll find the cheap one to be the most desirable. Yep.
Good luck, Haya....

Not trying to hyjack this thread, but I was curious about the PCV delete as well.
Is this something I should do even if I'm not having issues with my OEM PCV or is is just modest gains and knowing I shouldn't ever need to worry about it in the future?

Mr. D...
The PCV delete will not gain anything except not having to replace that plastic PCV from time to time. (Edit: Plus better idle, and smoother power and better gas mileage. I guess there are some gains after all.)
Since I installed the delete kit, it has been trouble-free. Go ahead and try a kit. Easy to install. If you do not like it go back to the plastic jobby. Cheap, around $30. plus or minus. Hayabusafalcon.
