USP Presents Billet Spulen Spherical Catch Can Kits for The Mk7 GTI and Golf 1.8T

With the introduction of direct injection engines, intake valve carbon buildup has become a common occurrence especially on the 2.0T engines. Carbon buildup on the intake valves is largely attributed to oil vapors being recirculated back into the intake system. While the 2.0T does feature a factory oil separator, it is prone to failure and does a poor job of separating oil from air that is recirculated into the engine’s intake. In order to reduce intake valve carbon build up and properly separate oil vapors from recirculated air, a catch can system is needed.

Spulen is pleased to present the most complete catch can for your MK7 GTI and Golf 1.8T. The Spulen Billet Catch Can is a true piece of art. Constructed from a solid block of billet aluminum each catch can is carefully machined to precise tolerances. The interior of the catch can features a dual chamber design and baffle plate to provide superior separation of air and oil vapors. Dual built-in, -10an male fittings allow for maximum air flow. A conveniently located dipstick allows you to easily check the level inside of the catch can. The bottom of the catch can features a built in mounting bracket. An easy open petcock fitting located on the bottom of the catch can allows you to easily empty the contents of the can. A removable low profile bolt is located out of sight and allows for easy disassembly for thorough cleaning.

Perhaps the best features of the Spulen Catch Can Kit are found in the included CNC adapter plate. The billet aluminum adapter plate was carefully designed to directly replace the factory plastic PCV valve located on the cylinder head. The adapter plate fastens to the cylinder head using the included stainless steel bolts which feature tapered heads for a flush installation. An integrated baffle insures oil vapors are drawn into the catch can and engine oil is not. In a stroke of brilliance Spulen’s Engineers were able to incorporate a dual-port boost tap into the adapter. One port on the boost tap is used to provide vacuum to the factory evap purge valve while the second port is user configurable with the included hose barbs. One barb features a small opening and is perfect for connecting a boost gauge while the other barb features a larger opening for use with a diverter valve, water methanol kit, or other accessories. A removable plug is also included if you do not need to use the second port.

Finishing off the Spulen Catch Can Kit are dual -10an braided hoses with aluminum fittings. The first line connects the CNC adapter plate to the catch can while the second line connects the catch can to the inlet on the turbocharger. A special adapter fitting is included and allows the -10an hose to seamlessly connect to the port on the inlet of the turbocharger, eliminating the plastic hose used from the factory.

Understanding that keeping a factory appearance is a must, the Spulen Catch Can Kit is completely compatible with the factory engine cover. No modifications or trimming is required to maintain the factory engine cover.

  • Removes harmful oil vapors from intake system

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...
